Colonial charm
The heart of the Spanish empire’s original seat in the New World is chockablock with museums, sights and courtly looking plazas surrounded by exquisitely restored 16th-century buildings. Ordinary life contrasts its colonial-era backdrop at every turn - contemporary hotels sit on ancient cobblestone streets lined with wrought iron and bursts of bougainvillea.
All-inclusive leisure
Much of the country’s reputation as an indulgent holiday destination emanates from the resplendent Punta Cana region. Most of the stereotypes are true, and there's something very intoxicating about having every indulgence, food, drink, pools and beachfront, close at hand - and charming personnel on hand to reach anything you can't.
Gastronomic gems
The contrasts between the colonial and the cosmopolitan continue into the country's culinary offerings. Contemporary restaurants serving exotic cuisine compete with street vendors specialising in traditional Dominican fare; and the plato del día often means feasting on locally caught seafood with a haute cuisine twist alfresco on the balcony of an ancient building.
