How safe is Santo Domingo?
The city is not as walkable as one would like, it’s wise to keep an eye out. The people in here is usually friendly and welcoming, they’re so expressive sometimes you might feel like they’re trespassing your personal space, but they don’t mean no harm.

Mily
Santo Domingo is a big City so as long as you remain in the safest area, you will be ok. For Example, walking in the main streets of Zona Colonial shouldn’t be a problem for a woman traveling alone at night or during the day in the metropolitan area or Malecón. Just watch out for mugglers and motobikers.
