Why this trip
Cobblestones, walls and squares where music plays in the evening: Santo Domingo is the oldest colonial city in the Americas and for families a counterpart to a beach holiday. Children experience here how the Caribbean sounds and smells outside the resort. Columbus Park in the heart of the old town is a square where children feed the pigeons while you visit the Cathedral of Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación. The Parque Iberoamérica and the Independence Park are green spaces with room to run.
The National Botanical Garden can be explored with a small train and suits a morning. Los Tres Ojos National Park brings children to caves and lakes with turquoise water. The Mirador del Sur is a long park where many people exercise in the morning. The country data name November to April as the best time.
A visit to Santo Domingo fits well as a day trip or two days in a journey that otherwise takes place on the beach in Punta Cana, Samaná or Puerto Plata. Plan the city for the cooler morning hours.
