Dominican Republic Travel Guide

Things to Do in Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic offers everything from the colonial grandeur of Santo Domingo—the oldest European city in the Americas—to the powdery shores of Punta Cana and the rugged peaks of Pico Duarte. Whale-watching in Samaná, cigar tours in Santiago, and merengue rhythms everywhere in between make this island endlessly rewarding.
