Santo Domingo - City Tour

Santo Domingo de Guzman is, without a doubt, 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 will do just that.

Our tour begins with a visit to "Los Tres Ojos", a combination of caverns and cenotes, which have a high sulfur content and an indescribable beauty.

Then we continue to the Colonial Zone, where the most important and imposing buildings of the colonization period are located. It will allow you to visit the first cathedral of the new world, the Alcazar de Diego Colon, the famous Las Damas street and some other colonial monuments of the 15th century. Enjoy panoramic views of downtown, residential areas and the National Presidential Palace. Your best option for shopping will be in the colorful market. Lunch is included in a typical Dominican restaurant.

Your tour of this city steeped in Dominican culture and heritage begins early in the morning when we pick you up from your Punta Cana hotel 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, but also modern buildings.

With the help of an expert guide, you will stroll through the Colonial Zone to see the most outstanding monuments and architecture. You will discover how the Spanish conquistadors lived with a visit to the Alcazar de Diego Colon, the fortress where the Grand Admiral's family lived.

You will also visit more iconic monuments, 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 Santa María de la Encarnación, the Jesuit Church, the National Pantheon and the Columbus Park.

All these visits can really work up an appetite. What better place to eat than in a traditional restaurant in Santo Domingo. Afterwards, let yourself be tempted by the typical souvenirs offered in the colorful stores and boutiques of Plaza Columbus.

Santo Domingo will allow you to leave your world behind and immerse yourself in the magic of this majestic Caribbean city!
