Santo Domingo & La Romana

Two cities colour the Dominican's Caribbean coast. Lovely and lively, La Romana welcomes you to nearby resorts scattered across breathtaking beaches, facing the clear-blue sea. Eastwards, seek Santo Domingo, the country's capital and bachata-blasting cultural core. Surrounding the two, tropical islands and sun-kissed shores deliver your Dominican dream: an exciting escape from the ordinary.

SANTO DOMINGO & LA ROMANA TRAVEL GUIDE

DESTINATION FACTS

Language

Spanish

What to eat

Chimichurri, or Chimi, a popular Dominican beef or pork sandwich, topped with cabbage, served with salsa at food trucks and street stands, and a dessert of Bizcocho Dominicano (rich Dominican cake with meringue icing).

What to bring back

Dominican instruments used for the island’s merengue music: the güira (metal scraper) or the tambora (two-headed drum). Or items made from the dried gourds of the higüero tree!

Fun Fact

Santo Domingo is one of the oldest European-settled city in the Americas. It was founded by none other than Christopher Columbus’ brother, Bartholomew, in 1498, and the city’s colonial zone is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site due to the presence of the New World’s first university, cathedral, castle, monastery and fortress.
