Tour itinerary
During the approximately one-and-a-half-hour guided tour, you will get to know the most important sights of the historic old town. The Zona Colonial is the former home of the Spanish colonial rulers and the oldest European settlement on the American continent. It is home to the first cathedral, the first hospital and the first school in the New World. During the tour, you will make stops at historically significant places and picturesque squares and learn, for example, why Columbus' son Diego lived in a far more opulent house than his father Christopher. Your local tour guide will also tell you which are the hippest bars, restaurants and cultural institutions - these insider tips are worth their weight in gold for anyone staying in the city for a longer period of time.
But this excursion also sheds light on the darker side of colonial history. You will learn how the indigenous Taínos were exploited and how slavery was introduced in America, as the first slave market in the New World was also located in Santo Domingo. The tour is therefore not only the quickest, easiest and most fun way to discover the Zona Colonial, but also a crash course in Dominican history.
