Santo Domingo is charmed as being the biggest city in the country that still keeps the fascination of the old continent. The landscapes and scenery are very appealing and the city itself is home to the first monuments and institutions of the New World. Santo Domingo is known for being the most dominant city in the Dominican Republic with its defensive fort, hospitals, universities, and other cultural features. The city’s cobblestoned streets and colourful houses evoke a romantic feel from ancient times.
Though Santo Domingo is a relatively small city, it is still one of the most vibrant among the Caribbean Sea. It is divided into two zones: the Old Santo Domingo, which consists of twelve blocks of buildings, monuments, museums, parks, and streets from Pre-Columbian and Spanish times. But, if you walk a little further you’ll come across a sophisticated city, with shopping malls, entertainment, and culture all at your hands. The city has been awarded the UNESCO World Heritage Site for its beauty and class.
