Santo Domingo
Introduction |
 |
|

Santo
Domingo is the capital of the Dominican
Republic, and the oldest city founded
by Europeans in the New World. No other
city in the Caribbean has a greater
variety of restaurants and night life.
There are so many restaurants in this
city that it is practically impossible
even for those who live here to have
visited them all. Santo Domingo has
also great shopping .
