Scattered cloudsWith over 500 years of history and recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Santo Domingo’s Colonial City is a living testament to the region’s colonial legacy, featuring landmark buildings such as the Cathedral of Santa María la Menor, the first cathedral built in the Americas.
The official language in the Dominican Republic is Spanish. However, English is widely spoken in hotels, restaurants and shops in all major tourist destinations such as Santo Domingo and Punta Cana, making it easier for international visitors to communicate.
The official currency of the Dominican Republic is the Dominican peso (DOP). In tourist areas such as Punta Cana, U.S. dollars (USD) are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants and shops, but it is advisable to exchange into pesos for local purchases and avoid fluctuations in the exchange rate. Euros (EUR), although not commonly accepted, can be exchanged for pesos at bureaux de change, banks and international airports. In addition, ATMs are available in most tourist areas and credit cards are widely accepted.
The Dominican Republic enjoys a tropical climate with warm temperatures throughout the year. The dry season, from December to April, is considered ideal for its low probability of rain, which allows travellers to enjoy its beaches and explore places such as Santo Domingo. From June to November, the rainy season can bring localised rainfalls, although it is usually brief and does not significantly affect the warm weather of tourist areas.
Most tourists only need a valid passport to enter the Dominican Republic. Citizens of the United States, Canada, the European Union and certain other countries do not require a visa for tourist stays of up to 30 days. In addition, all travellers must complete a digital entry and exit form, known as an e-Ticket, which is presented upon arrival and departure from the country. It is essential to check the specific requirements for your nationality before travelling.
The Dominican Republic offers a variety of transportation options. In Santo Domingo and other major cities, services like Uber are available. In tourist destinations such as Punta Cana, private transportation and transfers are the most recommended options to travel between the airport and hotels. Taxis and intercity buses can also be found for longer distances.
The ideal duration depends on the type of trip. To enjoy the beaches and relax at a resort in Punta Cana, a stay of 5 to 7 days is usually enough. If you want to explore Santo Domingo as well, an 8- to 10-day trip will allow you to enjoy both history and nature.

No specific vaccinations are required to enter the Dominican Republic, although it is advisable to be up to date on standard vaccinations. If you plan to visit rural areas, ask your doctor about additional vaccinations, such as hepatitis A or B, depending on your itinerary.
