The top reasons to visit Dominican Republic are revealed solely by its location – the Caribbean region. And much like its neighbors, Saint Martin and Haiti, it offers a number of stunning beach escapes that would certainly make you feel like you are in Paradise. With this said, there is no longer the question of whether or not you'll find great beaches here but where you can go to experience exactly what you are looking for in such a destination.
One of the top reasons to visit Dominican Republic that’s been endorsed by its officials is the Colonial City of Santo Domingo, where Christopher Columbus established the first Spanish settlement in the New World. Here, you will see a lot of memorials and relics of the past, including the old colonial Church aptly named First Cathedral of America and a late 19th century bronze statue of the founder, in Parque Colon. But of course, at the end of the day, you do have the option of spending the night in the antiquated city or driving down to Boca Chica and lounging by the shore, until the sun sets.
