I';ve been sitting here for an hour trying to work this one out .... can't find anything anywhere ....

"this city is capital of a country that was swapped under a 17th century treaty for a small trading post on North America's eastern seaboard The colonal legacy is still evident in architecture, waterways and language. Elsewhere the country boasts pristine rainforest famed for o ut standing biodiversity. Name the city"

The four pictures are (a) a couple of houses in the locla artchitecture (b) a big bridge in front of the metropolis with abundant skyscrapers
(c) a frog on a leaf, (d) some of the native population.

Hope someone can help, many thanks,

Quebec City?
Chokkie................ Answer is: Paramibo, Suriname
The city skyline is deffo New York City. In the 17th century, the Dutch swapped New York City (New Amsterdam) for the country of Suriname in South America - and the capital of Suriname is Paramaribo where you'll find a strong colonial architectual link, and the traditional costumes.
