Dominican Republic (48.422 kmq), with Capital City Santo Domingo, extends on two-thirds of Hispaniola island, and borders Haiti, in the west. It's one of the most fascinating exotic destination in the world for beauty and varied nature of the landscapes, the history and above all, the completeness of the services. Golden beaches and clear sea, barrier reef, palm groves, lagoons, lakes and rivers, jungles with fruit trees and mountains, waiting for you. But are great sense of freedom, cheerful character of the people, perfect weather all year round, that captivate. You will find luxury and inexpensive hotels, holiday villages, prestigious golf courses, exclusive and informal restaurants, night clubs, discos and casino. And then Santo Domingo, with two different towns: new city, with wide boulevards, traffic-congested major roads, villas and skyscrapers, luxury stores, and the suburbs of favelas around Ozama river; and old colonial city, true museum in the open air, in an atmosphere of ancient times, even more evocative by night, when streetlamps light create a rich ambience of music, mystery and enchantment between Malecon and Spanish walls. |
