Often compared to Santo Domingo, the city of Santiago, the second largest metropolis, is comprised of natives that prefer a less chaotic and more purposeful lifestyle than its counterpart. Home to over 750,000 people, the heart of this laid back city proves to be the cultured downtown area. In addition, Santiago is where most of the country's presidents were raised; giving the city well-deserved bragging rights.
A primary downtown attraction and a place were boredom is not in the vocabulary is Calle del Sol. Known as the city's main shopping district, the street is stocked with shops, hotels, restaurants, bars and an array of vendors.
Located north of Calle del Sol is Parque Duarte. A popular area to kick up those traveling feet and get acquainted with the natives, this shady park is a great representation of Santiago's laid back lifestyle.
An ideal spot for cigar lovers and a perfect place to relax after a day of shopping is the Museo del Tabaco. Visitors will learn about the art of cigar-making while purchasing some of the country's top brands. Located in Santiago, it would be a sin to exit Cibao Valley without stopping by this one-of-a-kind museum.
People from around the globe visit Santiago year-round to stay at some of the finest accommodations that satisfy the needs of any traveler. In addition, the city provides a vibrant nightlife and variety of stores that are comparable to the capital city.
Most travelers know that convenience is an added bonus. Santiago provides an additional benefit by serving as an alternate airport to Puerto Plata. Also, both of the airports are of about equal distance to Monte Cristi and other destinations in the Dominican Republic's northwest region.
Frecuentemente comparada con Santo Domingo, la ciudad de Santiago, la segunda metrópolis en tamaño, está habita por habitantes que prefieren un estilo de vida menos caótico. Hogar de más de 750.000 personas, esta ciudad es la zona cultural del centro. Adicionalmente, Santiago es donde nació la mayoría de los Presidentes del país; lo cual le da a la ciudad un merecido derecho a su orgullo.
Una atracción principal del centro de la ciudad, donde la palabra fastidio no está en el vocabulario, es Calle del Sol. Conocida como el principal distrito de tiendas de la ciudad, la calle está poblada de comercios, hoteles, restaurantes, bares y una amplia gama de negocios.
Al norte de la Calle del Sol está Parque Duarte. Un área popular para divertirse caminando y para entrar en contacto con los residentes, este sombreado parque es un gran ejemplo del estilo de vida sosegado de Santiago.
Un lugar ideal para los amantes del tabaco y un lugar perfecto para descansar después de un día de compras es el Museo del Tabaco. Los visitantes aprenderán acerca del arte de hacer tabacos mientras compran algunas de las marcas más conocidas del país. Localizada en Santiago, sería un pecado salir del Valle del Cibao sin detenerse en este museo único en su estilo.
La gente de alrededor del globo visita Santiago anualmente para estar en algunas de los delicados alojamientos que satisfagan las necesidades de cualquier viajero. Adicionalmente, la ciudad ofrece una vida nocturna vibrante y una variedad de tiendas sólo comparable a la que ofrece la ciudad capital.
La mayoría de los viajeros sabe lo conveniente que es tener algo extra. Santiago proporciona beneficios adicionales como un aeropuerto alternativo a Puerto Plata. También, los dos aeropuertos están casi a igual distancia de Monte Cristi y otros destinos en la región noroeste de la RD.

PLANNING YOUR TRIP
""
With so many options to choose from, the hardest part of planning a trip to the Dominican Republic is planning your departure for home. Seven major airlines serve the Dominican Republic, so you'll always have a good choice of flights. Many tour operators offer daytrips with a wide appeal, but specialty travel is also a popular option.
Ecotourism and adventure tours that involve helicopter rides, kayaking, four-wheeling, caving, and other thrilling escapades are available to the intrepid traveler. If family oriented itineraries are more your speed, consider tours that include horseback riding, water parks, and whale watching. The Dominican Republic is also becoming a popular destination for weddings, honeymoons, meetings, and conventions.
BEFORE YOU GO
The Dominican Republic enjoys warm tropical weather year round, so pack for paradise. Don't forget sunglasses, sunblock, and your bathing suit.
With seven international airports and a streamlined immigration process, visiting paradise has never been easier. Even communication is trouble-free because although Spanish is the official language, most employees in hotels and tourist spots speak English.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
The Tourist Card is a required document for residents of authorized countries to enter the Dominican Republic exclusively for touristic purposes without a visa. It can be obtained at the Dominican Consulates or directly upon arrival at the airports in the Dominican Republic. The cost is US $10 and is valid for 30 days. (Please note that some of the tour operators include the Tourist Card in their packages.)
Year-round sports, effervescent nightlife, distinctive souvenir shopping, magnificent national parks, and world class gambling make for a jam-packed vacation to do list. But when you see the spectacular beaches, you might just want to pull up a chair and relax.
Outdoor activities like golf, snorkeling, windsurfing, kiteboarding, and boating are a thrilling way to experience the natural beauty of land and sea. With over two-dozen national parks, other quieter options for communion with nature like hiking and bird watching are also available. Indoor activities offer you the chance to strike it rich, dance the night away, or shop for curious mementos like carnival masks, amber, and a strange, liquid cure-all called Mamajuana.
