It boasts some of the finest first class hotels and the most exciting nightlife anywhere. Here you will find a world of colonial treasures, romance and cosmopolitan sophistication that is unmatched in the Caribbean.

The charming and symbolic palm tree-lined Malecón serves as the entrance to the colonial riches of the old city, a city of many firsts, museums, attractions, outdoor bars, restaurants and much more.

Great strides have been made in the last few years to restore this part of Santo Domingo to its original look of 500 years past. In recognition of these achievements, the United Nations has declared Santo Domingo "city of world cultural heritage".

Modern Santo Domingo is a lively and exciting city of museums, superb cuisine, pulsating night life, casinos, culture, art, great shopping, top class hotels and ideal venues for meetings and incentives. General costs are way lower than the rest of the Capitals in the Caribbean.

Santo Domingo is truly the Metropolis of the Caribbean, Kingston, Havana and San Juan together are not half the size of this first capital city in the New World.

We recommend you take the Santo Domingo City Tour if you are interested in discovering this city yourself.
