Santo Domingo is an enchanting city of modern sophistication, old world charisma, and Latin charm. In the capital of
the Dominican Republic, dazzling casinos, pulsating night life, superb dining, fashionable shopping and top class
hotels, are set off by a rich colonial past evidenced in the numerous museums and restored historic buildings.
Santo Domingo is the ideal spot for travelers interested in the old and the new.
The Colonial City is the perfect starting point for visitors to discover Santo Domingo. Here, between Independence Park
and the Ozama River, they will find the first city built in the New World by European settlers, including Columbus's
brother, Bartholomew and his son, Diego Columbus.
The first street ever built in the Americas is Calle de Las Damas, the site of numerous historic buildings including the
Ozama Fortress, the oldest fortress in the Americas. There is also the house of Nicolás de Ovando, governor of Santo
Domingo in the early 1500's and a ruthless warrior against the Taino Indians. Of great historical interest is the Museum
of the Royal Houses, the restored 16th century palace of the Spanish Court, which features a wonderful view into the
past. Nearby is the Alcázar de Colón (Castle of Columbus) built by Diego Columbus and his wife Maria de Toledo, niece
of the Spanish King Ferdinand. A few streets over in the center of the walled city, visitors will find the Cathedral Basilica
Santa Maria la Menor, pronounced the first cathedral in the New World by Pope Paul III in 1542. While touring the
colonial city, visitors can learn all about amber, the stone made even more famous by Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park
film. The Amber Museum of Calle Arz. Meriño features exceptional educational exhibits of this semi-precious jewel.
From the old to the new, Santo Domingo takes visitors on a trip through the centuries with its dozen of national
museums celebrating all aspects of Dominican life past and present. Many of these museums are located in the Plaza
de la Cultura, a large park area where visitors can stroll easily from one museum to another. They include The Museum
of the Dominican Man, the Museum of Modern Art, the National Museum of History and Geography, and the National
Museum of Natural History. Visitors will enjoy the fascinating look into the history of the Dominican people including
original Taino artifacts, information on the Spanish conquerors, and the African slaves at the Museum of the Dominican
Man, as well as the impressive collection of modern art that gives a new dimension into Dominican society at the
Museum of Modern Art.
Another site not to be missed is the Faro a Colón (Columbus Lighthouse) an impressive structure in the shape of a cross
which was constructed to mark the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' Landing in the Americas in 1492. It
houses his remains, and features numerous exhibits. After exploring it by day, it is exciting to view the Lighthouse at
night from the Colonial City, when the powerful lights are reflected into the sky.
Other daytime sightseeing options are the National Aquarium, the Botanical Gardens, the National Zoo, and Los Tres
Ojos, an impressive 50-foot deep cave with three lagoons surrounded by stalagmites and lush vegetation.
At night, the city unfolds its magic carpet of choices for visitors interested in dining, the arts, and dancing into the wee
hours. Santo Domingo's dining scene rivals any cosmopolitan city around the world. A truly international mix, visitors
can find every type of cuisine as well as savory Dominican dishes at superb restaurants offering great value. In addition,
top theatrical, musical, and dance performances can be enjoyed at the National Theatre, and smaller theatres around
town. Afterwards, visitors can merengue and salsa the night away at the upscale dance clubs in town including the
greatest sensation of all-- the Guácara Taina. This multi-level cultural center/disco is set in a massive underground
cave.
