Description:

Visit charming Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic, and enjoy its rich culture and great historical past. See the famous sights in this “City of Firsts”—founded by Bartholomew Columbus in 1496—including a cathedral, hospital, and university.

Notice the mixture of old and new as you enter the first continuously-inhabited European settlement in the Americas. As the first seat of Spanish colonial rule in the New World, Santo Domingo is a city of many firsts for the Americas. Visit Colonial Town to tour the first Cathedral of the Americas, and then pass the first street, the first university, and the first hospital of the New World.

Stop for lunch along the ancient cobblestone streets and watch as luxury cars share the roads with horse-drawn carriages. Then visit the oldest Viceregal residence in the Americas, the Columbus House, before your group makes the journey back to La Romana. Come and enjoy the island's largest city.
