Description

Bordering the Ozama River, this area boasts cobblestone streets and an impressive group of buildings dating back to the 16th century. The Colonial Zone of Santo Domingo permits us to travel back through more than 500 years of history and architecture. The palaces have been converted into fascinating museums, but many of the area's oldest structures are now quaint bars, cafés and small hotels and restaurants. At sunset an air of enchantment and romance settles over the neighborhood, letting the day's worries fade away.
