We all love the beach, but there is so much more to discover in the Caribbean — and there’s nowhere better to experience the authentic Caribbean than some of its remarkable cities.
The Caribbean’s urban centers offer a mix of nightlife, culture, art and culinary adventure that will always reward the adventurous traveler. These are our favorites for 2017.
Santo Domingo
The Caribbean’s largest metro area is a pulsing, vibrant city with a modern, energetic vibe. But it’s also home to the Colonial Zone, the oldest city in the New World and a wonderful destination in its own right. The best trips to Santo Domingo combine both of these worlds.
What You Must Do:
Stay at the JW Marriott Santo Domingo
Eat at Pat’e Palo European Brasserie
Drink at the lobby bar at the Hostal Nicolas Ovando
Experience a walk around the Colonial Zone and its myriad sidewalk cafes and art galleries.
