Stepping into Commewijne feels like breathing a little deeper. Just a short ferry ride across the Suriname River from Paramaribo, this district isn't about flashing lights or bustling crowds. It's about lush greenery, whispers of history carried on the breeze, and a genuine, unhurried pace of life. Here, the landscape is dominated by former plantations, now mostly transformed into agricultural lands or serene retreats, all crisscrossed by tranquil canals. It’s a place where the rich tapestry of Surinamese culture—Javanese, Hindustani, Creole—is woven into daily life, from the flavors on your plate to the friendly faces you meet.
If you're looking to peel back the layers of Suriname and connect with its soul, Commewijne offers a quiet, authentic glimpse. It's where you go to unwind, explore on two wheels, and truly appreciate the country's unique heritage.
Commewijne’s social scene isn't about grand clubs; it’s about community and connection. Life here often revolves around the smaller villages and neighborhoods, each with its own rhythm. You'll find people gathering at local warungs (Javanese eateries) for a bowl of bami or nasi, or catching up at roadside stands selling fresh fruit. The ferry dock itself, particularly in Leonsberg (Paramaribo side) and Meerzorg (Commewijne side), is a bustling hub where daily life unfolds, conversations spark, and plans are made. It's a prime spot for people-watching and soaking in the local atmosphere.
For those looking to extend their evening, many locals might head back over to Paramaribo, but Commewijne offers its own charm with casual, open-air spots where you can enjoy a cool drink as the sun sets over the river. Keep an eye out for local events and church gatherings, which are often central to community life and a great way to meet people.

The most common way is to take the public ferry from Leonsberg in Paramaribo to Meerzorg in Commewijne. It’s a short, scenic ride and allows you to bring bicycles or scooters, which are great for exploring the district.
Commewijne is perfect for a relaxed day trip, especially if you plan to cycle through the plantations and visit Fort Nieuw Amsterdam. However, for a deeper dive into its history and a more tranquil experience, consider staying a night or two at one of the plantation resorts like Frederiksdorp.
Commewijne is a hotspot for authentic Javanese cuisine. Be sure to try 'bami' or 'nasi' (fried noodles/rice), 'sate' (grilled skewers), and 'telo' (fried cassava) from local warungs. Don't miss out on the fresh tropical fruits available at roadside stands.
