The city is a mix of old world charm and modern Latin flair. Its medieval palaces and fortresses mix with nightlife and shopping to rival any modern city in the world.

A group of interconnected caves near Santo Domingo.
Reviewed By LuizDutraNeto - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The "Monumento Natural Cueva Los Tres Ojos", also known as "Parque Nacional Los Tres Ojos", is probably the most visited attraction in Santo Domingo! The caves and lagoons were discovered about a hundred years ago and are really breathtaking! A winding staircase leads visitors to a series of limestone caves. An underground river - "La Brujuela - feeds freshwater to three interconnected lagoons, locally called "eyes" for their eye-oval-shapes. The first one, "Lago de Azufre", is famous for its blue waters (due to the presence of calcium minerals in its composition and not due to sulphurous waters, as initially believed), stalactites and stalagmites. Then comes "Lago La Nevera", named after its cold waters. The third "eye", "Lago Las Damas", the shallowest one, was mostly used by women and children. Years later, a fourth lake was discovered, but unlikely the other "eyes", this one is not underground, but open-air and surrounded by a rocky landscape and lush vegetation. It is called "Lago Los Zaramagullones" after some native ducks, and is the deepest one, with beautiful small fishes swimming on its crystal clear waters. Take your time and visit the park, its caves and lakes. You will never regret! Enjoy!

6. The Colonial Gate 4D Cinema
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 398 reviews
The Battle of Santo Domingo is a fully immersive 4D cinema experience. Visitors can enjoy the physical and virtual world of the 1586 walled city invasion of Santo Domingo lead by Sir Francis Drake - the most renowned seaman of the Elizabethan era. The film follows this fearsome pirate as he storms the city, presenting itself in nine languages simultaneously. Established to provide visitors with an introduction to the Colonial City of Santo Domingo, the film shares knowledge of the history, culture and values of the Dominican Republic through world-class technology. Much to their delight, visitors participate in a fully interactive and multi-sensory experience, one that includes a 3D movie with remarkable features such as motion seats, wind, mist, fog, heat and even bubbles! The Battle of Santo Domingo was awarded in the ITB Berlin - Cinema Festival 2016 and the winner of the #1 place for the Best Film of Cultural Tourism in the Internacional Film Festival "Art & Tur" Portugal 2016

My kids, even the teenager, enjoyed these movies, and it was a great time to get off the street and into air conditioning for an hour or so. We bought the three movie package and enjoyed all of them. The Pirates one was particularly fun.
7. Santo Domingo Metro

The Santo Domingo Metro is the only subway in the Caribbean. It is a great method of exploring the sights of the city. The subway operates between 6:00 am to 10:30 pm daily. A trip costs RD$35 with a disposable card, but a daily card may be more economical if you are regularly riding the subway. The subway runs for 48 km throughout the city with a north to south (blue) and east to west (red) line. I used the subway to visit military monuments of Simon Bolivar (a short walk north of Joaquín Balaguer), José de San Martín (outside Juan Bosch station) and Maximo Gomez (outside of Juan P. Duarte station). Other attractions on the blue line include the many museums and sculptures of the Plaza of Culture (Casandra Damirón station) and monuments to the Dominican fight for independence and democracy, a short walk south of the Centro de los Héroes station. I would recommend this method of transport for any visitors to the city.
