Suriname operates on Suriname Time (SRT) year-round, which is 3 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC-3). Suriname does not observe daylight saving time, so the time remains consistent throughout the year.
All of Suriname follows the same timezone. Paramaribo, the capital and largest city, and all other districts observe SRT. Suriname shares the same timezone as Argentina, Brazil (Brasília time), Uruguay, and French Guiana.
Suriname is the smallest country in South America and the only one where Dutch is the official language. About 90% of the country is covered by pristine tropical rainforest, making it one of the most forested countries in the world. Paramaribo's historic inner city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its unique blend of Dutch colonial architecture with local materials and techniques.
