Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

Bridging the gap between the Old and New Worlds, the Dominican Republic was originally inhabited by Taino

Indians and in 1492 was discovered by Christopher Columbus, who named the island Hispaniola. Today you will

find European, African, Latin and Taino influences in the country's art, music, gastronomy, recreation and religion.

Modern amenities, pulsing nightlife and casinos, and a growing influx of luxury resorts add to the island's appeal.

As the oldest and first city of the New World, Santo Domingo is rich in history, claiming the region's oldest

cathedral, as well as the oldest house, street, hospital and university.

On the country's Northern coast, Puerto Plata is a favorite among surfers and is famous for its sizable

reproduction statue of Christ the Redeemer atop Mount Isabel de Torres. In Juan Dolio and Samana, there are

caves etched with mysterious petroglyphs and pictograms to explore. With 250 miles of pristine, palm-fringed

coastlines, as well as a flurry of coconut-covered mountains, flourishing rainforests and distinctive cities, you can

do as much or as little as you'd like in the Dominican Republic.

Santo Domingo

The oldest city in the New World, the Dominican Republic capital is a treasure trove of historic buildings set amid

a backdrop so authentic you can practically hear the clank of the conquistadors' armor; the Old Town, or Zona

Colonial, remains partially enclosed by remnants of the original city wall. Santo Domingo has a modern side as

well, making this one of the Caribbean's most vibrant cities -- the lilting sounds of merengue music are guaranteed

to lure you into the bars and dance clubs of the capital after dark.

Things to Do

Stroll the narrow streets and explore the old stone buildings of Zona Colonial, a 12-block area from which Spain

launched its conquest of the New World. Walk the narrow cobblestoned streets in the footsteps of Columbus,

Ponce de León and Cortés. Set aside a couple of hours to visit Alcázar de Colón, the palace constructed for

Columbus's son, Diego, in 1517.

Shopping

Amber and larimar (Dominican turquoise) jewelry are the top handicrafts on sale. Dominican amber is renowned

and comes in a range of colors, from bright yellow to black, some with encased insects. Hand-wrapped cigars are

sold virtually everywhere. Head to La Atarazana, a Zona Colonial neighborhood of art galleries and gift and

jewelry stores -- come prepared to haggle.
