Get ready to walk through history: this tour takes you to the highlights of the Colonial Zone, the historic center of Santo Domingo, the oldest city founded by Europeans in the Americas.
During the tour, you will visit iconic places such as:
Cathedral of Santa María la Menor — the first cathedral built in the Americas.
Alcázar de Colón / Museo de las Casas Reales — former residences and seats of colonial power that today preserve history and art.
Fortaleza Ozama — the oldest fortress of European origin in the Americas, built in the early 16th century.
Stroll through historic streets such as Calle Las Damas (the first paved street in the Americas) and Calle El Conde, lined with colonial architecture, shops, cafés, and local atmosphere.
Stops at iconic squares such as Parque Colón—the epicenter of the historic center—and Plaza de España, perfect for observing local life, architecture, and enjoying a relaxed atmosphere.
When strolling through the Colonial Zone, you will literally be walking through an "open-air museum": cobblestone streets, colonial heritage, history intertwined with modern life, art, culture, music, traditional Dominican cuisine, and a vibrant city style that blends past and present.
