Explore Zona Colonial, Santo Domingo | Dominican Republic Travel

Our final stop in Dominican Republic is 24 hours exploring the Colonial Zone of Santo Domingo.
Join me as we explore Zona Colonial Santo Domingo including Plaza de España, Museo de las Casas Reales, Hodelpa Nicolás de Ovando, Alcázar de Don Diego Colón, Palacio Consistorial de Santo Domingo colonial, Parque Colon (Columbus Park), and wandering the old city streets.
Parque Colon is a main city square featuring a prominent Christopher Columbus statue bordered by the oldest cathedral in the Americas.
Hodelpa Nicolás de Ovando hotel was built as part of the 1502 architectural building boom and is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located just off Calle de Damas, with easy walking access around the colonial zone of the old city.
Just beyond the wall of the city is the passenger & cargo ferry that travels between Santo Domingo and San Juan, Puerto Rico. The ferry travels 13 hours overnight for a mini one-night cruise in the Atlantic Ocean between islands. Flights under an hour and typically cost $150 each way, the ferry is similarly priced at $200 per person round trip.

So would you choose dominican republic over Puerto rico if you could transport your business?

@@nesq4104 That is a great question! I honestly would need to spend more time in DR to decide. DR is less expensive for cost of living.
