Question

What should I keep in mind while exploring the area?

Answer

La Zona Colonial is such an exciting place to explore—full of color, music, and centuries‑old charm—and its cobblestone streets make comfy shoes a must as you wander. The warm tropical weather calls for light, breezy outfits, and while most places take cards, having a little cash (especially pesos) makes taxis and small vendors easier. Our weeding will take place at La Iglesia de Las Mercedes which is a beautiful 16th‑century church that feels like stepping into living history, with stunning architecture and a peaceful atmosphere right in the heart of the neighborhood.

Yes — please refer to the travel section on our website for a list of hotel recommendations. We highly recommend staying in the Colonial Zone for your convenience, but feel free to explore other options in the downtown Santo Domingo area as well.
