Santo Domingo in Dominican Republic is what happens when history gets dressed up for cocktails. And then chokes on an olive.
Columbus was here. But probably overdid it.
The new areas go from rough and ready to modern high rise. The old town has its cobbled streets, a nice cathedral, churches older than most countries, and enough museums to make an history teacher weep with joy. The glitzy Zona Colonial serves conquistador chic with a side order of rum and questionable colonial decision making.
Nice change from the beach.
