Santo Domingo City Tour

Santo Domingo de Guzmán is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating cities in the Caribbean and the first city founded in the New World in 1496. This beautiful capital city, located two and a half hours from Punta Cana, invites you to explore its charms, and with our excursion, you can do just that.

Our tour begins with a visit to “Los Tres Ojos,” a combination of caves and cenotes featuring high sulfur content and indescribable beauty.

Next, we continue to the Colonial Zone, where the most important and imposing buildings from the colonial period are located. This includes a visit to the first cathedral of the New World, the Alcázar de Diego Colón, the famous Calle Las Damas, and other colonial monuments from the 15th century. Enjoy panoramic views of the city center, residential areas, and the National Presidential Palace. Your best shopping option will be at the colorful market. Lunch is included at a typical Dominican restaurant.

Your excursion to this city, rich in Dominican culture and heritage, starts early in the morning when we pick you up from your hotel in Punta Cana to take you to Santo Domingo, the capital and cultural heart of the Dominican Republic. The city offers a vibrant mix of sights and architecture steeped in history, as well as modern constructions.

With the help of an expert guide, you will walk through the Colonial Zone to see the most outstanding monuments and architecture. Discover how Spanish conquerors lived with a visit to the Alcázar de Diego Colón, the fortress where the family of the Great Admiral lived.

You will also visit other iconic landmarks, such as the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo (UASD), the Palace of Fine Arts, the Eduardo Brito National Theater, the National Palace, the Metropolitan Cathedral of Santa María la Menor, the Church of the Jesuits, the National Pantheon, and Columbus Park.

All these visits can truly work up an appetite. What better place to eat than at a traditional restaurant in Santo Domingo? Afterward, indulge in the typical souvenirs offered in the colorful shops and boutiques of Columbus Plaza.
