I think this is one of the best places to go when in the colonial area. Really wide open space with plenty of things to view.
Beautiful architecture! The history was is astounding. A fantastic tour of the castle. Our tour guide was very informative and knowledgeable. We very much enjoyed our tour. Good food and a bit of shopping to end our day.
Amazing city! 1st cathedral in the Western Hemisphere, first port in the Western Hemisphere, 1st street in the Western Hemisphere. Simply amazing!
Great time there knowing a little bit of history, a lot of great pictures in places older than half a millennia, the home of Christopher Colombus son takes your breath away, lots of restaurants are near, and Avenida el Puerto is a couple of minutes, zona Colonial will also be in the area, lots of museums to visit and spend probably a whole day getting some knowledge about the country's history.

Historical plain, lots is great eateries on the one end. Great views. Relaxed atmosphere. Lots of tourists and locals enjoying the plaza.
It's always great to see the architecture of this historical site. It feels like traveling back in time.
Beautiful and historical open space. There are monuments, restaurants, and forts and castles around the area. You'll find many tourists, live music, kids doing school projects A very lively place.
The only place to stay for me in the colonial zone. Very clean, very safe, perfect location to visit all the sites! Family run. Super friendly staff. Superb customer service!
Its a beautiful place to be specially at christmas because there is a beautiful christmas tree. There is also a restarount there which is also really good :-)
Nice plaza to visit with the family. Is a kid friendly space, but they need to work more on the lighting and cleanliness.
A place full of culture, history, so beautiful and you can enjoy days o nights. ♡
Great Place to hang out at night! The mood and the music is just right to make your self comfortable to talk and some drinks, there are few bars very nice to dance and fancy restaurants.
The plaza is old spanish colony style for their monks and army forces. It has some affordable bar with terrace both indoor and outdoor. When the night falls it has a lively ambience with life shows very often presenting local and international artists.
Bestest place to go. Just go. Now!
Very interesting and informative regarding Christopher Columbus. We went with a tour guide and learned much. We were able to get around and explore the ruins.
Iconic. If you visit Santo Domingo this is a must. A lot of history all over the place. Lot's of music and good food surrounding it. Parking is an issue.
Great place. Tourists should all visit this place. Home to Colon's House.
A beautiful and historic area rich in history and culture. Certain nights have live music and events, and the area becomes very lively and fun with both tourists and locals. Check out one of the restaurants there if you can and try to catch a meal during sunset in the evening hours.
Great plaza, excellent views. Nice area to eat out, enjoy a cocktail or to walk around. Did I say you can get great coffees and very cold beers🍺🍻
This is a "must visit" spot for any tourist visiting Santo Domingo. It is filled with historical structures, and you can see how one of the oldest Spanish colonies in the western hemisphere was laid out, and how it felt. In the immediate area, you will find many little restaurants, little shops you can find decent gifts at, and many other historical sites. It gets really crowded on weekends, as the locals like to go to have a good time in that area.
