Santo Domingo exemplifies the pulse of Dominican culture and is a city where old perfectly meets new, with art galleries, buzzing nightlife and delicious foodie scene sitting seamlessly alongside architectural wonders from the 16th century and a UNESCO world heritage site. Explore the Zona Colonial in the core of the city by bike or by joining a guided tour, visit the National Botanical Garden for a beautiful taste of nature and finish with a sunset drink with a seaview at the Malecón pier. The historical charm met with a modern Latin flair is perfect for the half of travellers who want to stay somewhere close to plenty of nightlife options, as they can enjoy the salsa clubs by night and recuperate on the pristine beaches in the glorious Caribbean by day.
