Santo Domingo Cruises
Santa Domingo is the capital of the Dominican Republic and the oldest European city in the Americas. A historical and beautiful port, it's definitely worth exploring. With Old World Spanish architecture, a wander around the ‘Colonial Town' is a must. Steeped in five centuries of history, you'll discover many original buildings here, including the ‘Cathedral Santa Maria' - the very first cathedral in the Americas. Another must see is the ‘Alcazar of Columbus; a castle built in the 1500's by Diego Columbus - the son of Christopher Columbus. Santa Domingo's other popular places include the ‘Amber Museum' in Puerto Plata and the splendid gardens of Plaza de la Cultura.
In Santo Domingo you'll find a selection of shops and a market just a short walk from the cruise terminal. Popular souvenirs include wooden masks, hand carvings, amber jewellery and cigars. You'll find these in many of the shops and at the market.
The local currency is the Dominican Republic Peso (DOP). Santa Domingo is 4 hours behind Greenwich meantime (GMT -4)
