The city has some nice places to visit, like Zona Colonial, where there's a lot of history from DR and some buildings constructed since the era of Cristobal Colon. But it is very unsafe if you walk around dangerous neighborhoods and you use your phone too much outside. It is not recommended to walk alone in the dark, and you have to be careful not to be robbed while using public transport.
