Museum of the Royal Houses eller Royal Palaces, som det blev kaldt under kaptajngeneralens og provinsens tid, havde to paladser som hovedkvarter, som kan dateres tilbage til det 16. århundrede. Dette kongelige palads blev bygget efter ordre fra kronen af Castilien under Fernando II af Aragoniens regeringstid den 5. oktober 1511 for at huse datidens vigtigste regeringskontorer.
Arkitekturen af bygningen af katedralen i Santo Domingo er karakteriseret ved en gotisk stil med ribbede hvælvinger, solide vægge og tre døre, to af dem gotiske i modsætning til den tredje og vigtigste gotiske Plateresque-stil. Katedralen rummer en stor kunstnerisk skat, der består af altertavler, malerier (inklusive et panel af Virgen de la Altagracia dateret 1523), gamle kabinetter, møbler, monumenter og gravsten, blandt andre genstande. Mausoleerne for ærkebiskopperne fra kolonitiden skiller sig ud, det er også værd at nævne gravstenen af Simón Bolívar, en af forgængerne til Liberator.
Santo Domingo-fæstningen eller Ozama-fæstningen er et af de historiske kulturelle monumenter i kolonibyen Santo Domingo i Den Dominikanske Republik. Det blev bygget af spanierne under kolonitiden og er det ældste fort i Amerika.
Casa de Tostado-museet skylder sit navn til sin første ejer, Francisco Tostado de la Peña, guvernørens notarius publicus. På facaden kan du se et dobbeltvindue i elizabethansk gotisk stil, unikt i Amerika.
Las Damas Street var den første gade i Santo Domingo, Den Dominikanske Republik og Amerika. Beliggende i Colonial City, det skylder sit navn til det faktum, at damerne i begyndelsen af kolonien gik ned ad den gade, som i øjeblikket er dekoreret med koloniale fliser. Denne gade har attraktionerne Fortaleza Ozama, La Real Audiencia, Don Rodrigo de Bastidas' hus (i dag "Trampolin"-børnemuseet), kolonihuse (nogle med kolonivåben) og for enden Plaza España.
Calle El Conde er den eneste gågade i hovedstaden i Den Dominikanske Republik og det kommercielle centrum af Colonial Zone. Calle el Conde Santo DomingoDenne en kilometer lange vej ligger mellem Parque Independencia og Avenida Francisco Alberto Caamaño Deñó, og i betragtning af sine historiske bygninger er det et af de mest besøgte turiststeder i Santo Domingo.

Den dominikanske kirke og kloster. Det er den ældste katolske bygning på det amerikanske kontinent, idet den er den første i den nye verden og i Santo Domingo, Den Dominikanske Republik. I dag er det en del af kolonizonen som helhed, som et verdensarvssted. I 1534 begyndte klostret sine klasser, og i 1538 blev det det første universitet i Amerika, som blev kaldt University of Santo Tomás de Aquino og senere det første universitet i Amerika, som vi i dag kender som det autonome universitet i Santo Domingo. ( UASD).
Når du besøger Santo Domingos koloniale zone, kan du finde alle de vigtigste historiske monumenter i Den Dominikanske Republik, blandt dem er Panteón Nacional eller Panteón de la Patria, mausoleet, der huser de fysiske rester af de største dominikanske helte. Beliggende på Calle Las Damas, næsten på hjørnet af Calle Las Mercedes, har denne enorme grå kalkstensbygning tre skibe og en neoklassisk-renæssancestil.
Hospitalet San Nicolás de Bari var det første hospital i Amerika. Dens konstruktion begyndte i 1503 i Santo Domingo, hovedstaden i Hispaniola, nu Den Dominikanske Republik. Det blev grundlagt af Nicolás de Ovando, som var guvernør på øen på det tidspunkt. I dag er der kun ruiner tilbage, og det er i øjeblikket placeret i Colonial City eller Colonial Zone i Santo Domingo; på Hostos-gaden, hjørnet af Luperón-gaden.
Alcázar de Colón eller Viceroyalty Palace of Don Diego Colón er et palads fra begyndelsen af det 16. århundrede, beliggende på Plaza de España i kolonibyen Santo Domingo (Den Dominikanske Republik). Denne konstruktion blev bygget på et sted nær klipperne, der ser ud mod Ozama-floden; givet til Diego Columbus, ældste søn af opdageren af Amerika, Christopher Columbus, af kong Ferdinand den katolske, for at bygge et hjem for ham og hans efterkommere på øen Hispaniola, som han ankom i 1509 som guvernør, og hvor Alcázar de Colón Museet fungerer i øjeblikket.

The tour is highly recommended; our guide drove us through the Colonial Zone in the tuktuk and shared some facts during the ride. The guide was friendly, came from Santo Domingo, but also spoke German.
Pavel was an excellent guide. My friend and I basically got a private tour because no one else was signed up. He was very knowledgeable about all the Santo Domingo history and spoke very good English. The tour was about 3 hrs and included entrance to 2 of the sites/ museums(Taino history & the fortress). A couple of places were closed- long term for fixes and we couldn’t enter the church because it was Sunday. We ended with a few stops - at a chocolate shop and a larimer shop. A great walking tour overall.
The guide was very convivial but his English was extremely limited. We were brought to his shop where he offered souvenirs for sale. My knowledge of and appreciation for the city was not enhanced.
I had such a wonderful experience with our tour guide, Angel! From the very beginning, he was incredibly humble, genuine, and professional. He provided so much valuable information and explained everything in a way that was clear, engaging, and easy to understand. Angel’s communication was excellent. He kept us informed, answered all of our questions patiently, and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the tour. His manners and positive attitude truly stood out and made the entire experience even more enjoyable. You can tell he genuinely cares about what he does and about the people he’s guiding. I highly recommend Angel to anyone looking for an informative, smooth, and memorable tour experience. Thank you for such a great day! 👏✨
Very friendly and knowledgable tour guides, providing a private tour around the historical part of the city, would recommend!
Great tour! Good high-quality commentary, our tour guide was very motivated to give us the best experience. Including going and buying a lime soda for one of those in our group that felt sick!
Very disorganized and unprofessional! Not worth the $90 I paid! Guide did not have the itinerary I paid for. I actually had to pull the itinerary to let him know. One of the sites was closed—Museo de las Casas Reales. The guide didn’t know that the admission was included. The majority of the walking tour was just pointing at buildings and some historical facts. And most of the sites that are noted as admission included are actually free! I could have gotten the historical information from the locals and done the sites on my own without having to pay Viator. And the guide wanted to do the tour in his car and wanted me to go park the car with him. Why would I get in a car with a stranger? And the only one in the tour! Guide also took me to two shops I didn’t ask to get taken to. I wasn’t there for shopping. I should get a refund for this because it was not worth my time. It dragged and he dragged on and the tour eventually ended in less than 2 hours in front of the Fortaleza Ozama. And the tour did not include the admission! An important site and I paid on my own to enter.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We regret that your experience did not meet your expectations; however, we would like to clarify several important points for transparency and fairness. From the very beginning of the tour, the guest showed a negative and resistant attitude. There was little openness to explanations, adjustments, or dialogue, which made it difficult to provide the best possible experience despite our efforts. Regarding the itinerary, the guide was fully aware of the scheduled route. When the Museo de las Casas Reales was found to be temporarily closed—a situation beyond our control—the guide offered to compensate by providing additional historical context and in-depth explanations that are not usually included, specifically to ensure the tour remained valuable and complete. Concerning transportation, the use of the tourist vehicle was entirely optional. It was offered only as a convenience, not as an obligation. The vehicle is a registered tourist car commonly used to facilitate mobility within the Colonial Zone, especially when a guest prefers less walking. The decision to use it was fully left to the guest. The brief stops at artisan shops were not intended as shopping excursions, but rather as cultural points of interest commonly included to illustrate local crafts and traditions. At no point was the guest required or pressured to make purchases. It is also important to clarify that many historical sites in the Colonial Zone are indeed free of charge, which is publicly known and does not diminish the value of a guided tour. The service provided focuses on historical interpretation, context, and professional guidance, not solely on paid admissions. The tour duration was adjusted naturally due to the circumstances mentioned above and concluded at Fortaleza Ozama, a highly significant historical site. Admission to this monument is clearly stated as not included, and this information is available on the platform prior to booking. We always strive to provide respectful, informative, and high-quality experiences. Unfortunately, a tour is also shaped by the disposition of the participant, and in this case, the lack of cooperation impacted the overall dynamic. We appreciate all feedback and will continue improving, but we respectfully disagree with the characterization of the service provided.
We loved this tour! Lucindo our guide was fabulous and has such a depth of history knowledge. We loved spending time with him. This length of this tour was perfect we got to see most things before it got too hot in the afternoon. Wear comfy footwear and water!
My family enjoyed this personal walking tour around the colonial city. I liked Naty, our tour guide as he spoke very good English and took the time to educate us on the country’s history and then quizzed us. Amazing time.
Francisco was attentive and knowledgeable! He made sure I saw everything and answered all of my questions well! He also made sure I got pictures and took pictures of me in various spots that he knew were good photo ops. Highly recommend!
