A must in historic Santo Domingo. They charge you an extra 60 pesos for getting a recorder with the details but if you can read, you don't really need this!

We absolutely will recommend this trip/ vacation to all! Especially a very talented and gifted server named Julian Andre in Los Gallo restaurant! His smile, service, and desire to study and train are great assets of the Hard Rock Resort! He made our trip very special! Also Akeno the Bell Man who went to the moon and back for us!... More

I returned from the Dominican republic today, and the feature attraction of my trip without a doubt is the primada de America. it is the first cathedral ever built in the Americas, once I entered this building I was going back 500 years in time, I had to use my imagination to see how it was for people so long...

It was neat seeing the first Cathedral in the "new" world. The audio tour was helpful. We spent about 30 minutes here. A must see though.

I walked in and I got a few tears in my eyes. Grand and architectually fabulous, was the ceiling. I believe they call those, flying buttresses, but I'm no scholar, so I'm probably wrong. The paintings on the ceiling painted by a woman with no hands, just stubs if I am to believe my personal tour guide. Remarkable doesn't quite... More

the colonial city is small, not really happening nothing compared to granada nicaragua, antigua guatemala, any colonial city in mexico..not even panama. santo domingo is a huge city with malls and nobody hangs out downtown in the colonial city. good for a day

this is a beautiful cathedral, and it is worth paying a visit after you walked around Parque Colón. It is the oldest in America, and its architecture combines different styles. The headphones they give you don't really work, so if you really are interested in the history, I recommend either going with a guide, or just visit wikipedia after you... More

We aren't Catholic and I don't speak Spanish but this is a must do on Sundays at noon. The entrance is on the side, not on the square. The guard made sure we would commit to the whole mass so it isn't just a tourist trap on Sunday mornings.

Sits on a beautiful courtyard. If you're a movie buff you'll recognize it. It's well lit at night. Picturesque. And it's safe. We walked around until 12am and never worried about our safety.
