City Tour
- Breakfast at Hotel.
- Today we visit the oldest permanent European settlement of the New World, Santo Domingo.
- There we are provided with a guided tour. The colonial zone is an architectural gem that truly feels detached from the rest of the city.
- Think of attractive Spanish era squares, monuments and parks, shirtless men playing dominoes, good food, exciting music (not least bachata and meringue) and an amazing nightlife scene.
- The Old Town (a.k.a. Zona Colonial) has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
- It is an important section of the city due to the high number of landmarks, including the residence of Alcázar de Colón, Fortaleza Ozama Castle and Primada de America Cathedral. Although the Old Town deserves most of our time, the outer areas of Gazcue and the Malecon are worth exploring too.
- All in all, the capital of the Dominican Republic is arguably one of the region’s most underrated destinations.
- Return back to Hotel and Overnight stay at Hotel.
