The Colonial Zone, or “Zona Colonial”, is a treasure trove of Spanish Colonial architecture. Many of the 16th century palaces today house museums, stunning restaurants, private homes and government offices. But the Colonial Zone is also a vibrant and bustling neighborhood with a unique culture that is fun to explore.
The Colonial Zone of Santo Domingo is one of the most important tourist destinations in the city and among the most visited in the Dominican Republic and is just where the history of the New World began.
The first commercial street in the New World remains the most popular pedestrian shopping area. Stretching over 10 blocks, this cobblestoned road is lined with restaurants, cafés, souvenir shops, and street side art vendors.
Come and explore the best part of Santo Domingo City!
