Dominican Republic - Santo Domingo
Amid the cobblestone streets it would be easy to forget Santo Domingo is in the Caribbean. But this is an intensely urban city, home not only to colonial-era architecture, but also to hot clubs, vibrant cultural institutions and elegant restaurants.
- wander the 500-year-old cobblestone backstreets of the Zona Colonial in the New World’s first city
- enter Catedral Primada de América, the first church in the New World, and imagine how 16th-century worshippers felt
- root for the home team at Estadio Quisqueya, one of the best places to watch a baseball game in the DR
