My first solo trip. I went for a long weekend so I didn’t plan on doing too much-beach, pool, and went on one excursion(I stayed at a resort). So glad I went, I met a new friend from another country& we had a blast together.

In SD you need take care about some neighbors (Los minas,,Gualey,the famous "La 42" and others) in general is not good idea stay with phone or cameras in your hands while you walking ok the street. Colonial zona and Malecon area is really safe.

Is a safe place as long as you are in the right places, because like other countries it has its places with greater danger. But I recommend to everyone the capital Santo Domingo is very tourist, safe and comfortable.
Posted: January 4, 2025The 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.
