About Santo Domingo
Santo Domingo is the oldest European-established city in the Americas, founded in 1496. The Zona Colonial is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with cobblestone streets, 16th-century architecture, and the first cathedral built in the New World. But beyond the historical sites, Santo Domingo pulses with Dominican culture — merengue and bachata music spilling from colmados on every corner, mangú breakfast spots that only locals know, and a nightlife scene on the Malecón that doesn't start until midnight. A Local Friend in Santo Domingo takes you past the tourist zone into the neighborhoods where the real city lives — from the street food vendors to the hidden beaches east of the city.
