Capital Delights

Información

Creeping in from the coastline, Santo Domingo isn’t only the Dominican Republic’s capital - it’s the largest city in the Caribbean. Travel back in time and discover a city where modern high rises sitting alongside traditional style buildings. You’re transported back to the days of Christopher Columbus as we head into the colonial zone and Christopher Columbus' palace. This pocket of the city is packed with 500 years of history and architecture. You’ll follow in the footsteps of Columbus along the cobbled streets, passing palaces converted into museums, hotels and restaurants. You’ll also visit the Visit the Cathedral of Santa Maria la Menor, dating from the early 1500’s. It boasts the title of the oldest church in the West Indies. And before you head back, there’s time for a retail fix in the market. With cubby hole stall after cubby hole stall, filled Taino art paintings and hand-rolled cigars, there are plenty of bargains to barter for.
