Day by day

Day 1: Arrival in Santo Domingo. Columbus Park is the central square of the old town, with the statue of Columbus and the oldest cathedral in the Americas. The way there leads over cobblestones, so comfortable shoes make sense. A gentle opening that explains Santo Domingo at a glance, before you return to the Hotel Catalonia.

Day 2: Mirador Del Sur Joaquín Balaguer Park. The Mirador del Sur is a long, tree-lined park on a limestone ridge with paths for pedestrians and cyclists, caves and a pond. Here you can breathe out, where the city grows calmer. Go early in the morning or in the late afternoon, when the warmth eases.

Day 3: The Three Eyes National Park. The Los Tres Ojos National Park consists of caves with underground lagoons that look like hidden gardens. The light is dim, the water still. A place where you automatically speak more quietly. Take an hour, then move on to the next café.

Day 4: Independence Park. Independence Park is a small square with monuments to the national heroes. Here you understand how the Dominican Republic tells its history. A walk along lanes and squares, with a stop for coffee and a look at the evening traffic. If you like, sit on a bench afterwards and watch the strollers of the old town.

Day 5: Parque Iberoamérica. The Parque Iberoamérica has forest paths, a fitness area and an amphitheatre, known for its Christmas lights. A green, relaxed morning in which you see Santo Domingo from its calm side. Afterwards a late lunch and an afternoon at the hotel are enough. A stop at a kiosk by the wayside provides water, fruit and a little sugar boost.

Day 6: Kahkow Experience. The Kahkow Experience is a place for cocoa and chocolate that grows in the Dominican Republic. Plan an indulgent afternoon on which you taste, smell and learn. It fits well as a sweet break between the city's historical stops.

Day 7: Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación. The Cathedral of Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación dates from the Gothic period and has a golden coral limestone façade. Go early, when light and silence coincide. Afterwards a walk through the lanes of the Zona Colonial and a dinner with merengue in the background. Plan no further appointments so that the day stays unhurried.

Day 8: Farewell to Santo Domingo. Scream Land is a playful finale for anyone who likes thrills. If you would rather stay calm, sit in a café in the old town and watch the day go by. Afterwards pack, tidy up and say goodbye to the rhythm of the city. Have breakfast in peace on the terrace and fill the luggage only at the end.
