Santo Domingo is the capital of the Dominican Republic. Santo Domingo is home to a large number of historical sights, some of which are the first structures built by Europeans in the New World.
As is well known, Santo Domingo is a city of contrasts that combines the unforgettable charm of its colonial past with the modern rhythm of life of one of the most important metropolises in the Caribbean. In this city, you will experience the contrast between magnificent marble palaces and the squalor of cheap accommodation, between the bright light of day and the dense darkness of night.
A large number of sights are concentrated in the city: the National Palace, the residence of the President, and the architectural ensemble of the Plaza de la Cultura, which includes the Gallery of Contemporary Art, the National Theater, the Playhouse, the Museum of Man, and the National Library.
You will also be impressed by the large number of tropical parks, among which the Botanical Garden with its rare tree species and the Mirador del Sur Park stand out.
