A must visit while you are in the Santo Domingo. Beautiful old streets. Many restaurants with affordable prices and delicious food. Even Coca-Cola Christmas tree looks good) You can spend many hours just walking around. Only one thing I didn't like - annoying guides who wants to offer their services.

Loved the area and how many attractions are all in that area. We felt safe and enjoyed the walk through the streets.

It is pretty amazing to see the 500 year old creations and how they were fought over. Very interesting history, glad we did the visit.

Open plaza area. Has restaurants on one side and historic architecture on the other side. Becomes very lively during weekends. Try to avoid visiting during high noon because it might get pretty hot. Evening dinner at the restaurants can be a pleasant experience. The restaurants here are priced on the higher end.

Very nice and open place. Invites to sit down, have a drink and watch the people and surroundings

Die Plaza de la Hispanidad hat eine hübsche Atmosphäre, aber mein Besuch war von geringer Aktivität geprägt. Es fehlte an belebenden Aktivitäten oder Veranstaltungen, was die Erfahrung etwas enttäuschend machte. Dennoch bietet der Ort eine angenehme Umgebung für entspannte Spaziergänge und ruhige Momente. Es könnte jedoch von mehr Veranstaltungen oder kulturellen Aktivitäten profitieren, um die Attraktivität zu steigern.

Es gibt kostenloses WiFi und eine Touristeninfornation. Dazu Restaurants und zur Weihnachtszeit wird ein Stück vom Platz geschmückt

The place is so appealing to the history of the city, located in colonial zone at the bank of the river where cruise ships stop. It has statue of the founder of the city and a large open field for events and parties, surrounded by Alcazar, Royal houses and restaurants. You can drive to this place from Punta Cana which is 2 and half hour nice drive or get bus tour to visit this place. Place is little dirty on the side, with lots of garbage disposals including plastic water bottles. City must pass the law to restore this heritage.

Great place to see the history of Santo Domingo and people watch. If you feel like spending some extra money, get a drink at the rooftop terrace. The view is great.

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.

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.

"Colonial Zone's" main square. Great for catching up a great concert, activity or just passing by a cool evening with friends. Surrounded by a lot of eating and drinking places, among a lot of touring/cultural landmarks. One of the "hearts" of the area.

This place was full of history and my kids truly enjoyed the fact that we could rent a headset which translated the information from each room into their preferred language. Loved it! Visiting thos place on Dominican Independence Day 2/27 was a true honor and a beautiful site!

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.

Very nice place to chill in the evening. There was a live band which made it extra enjoyable. The restaurants have a great ambience, BUT beware of the tourist trap. The add-on taxes, tips almost doubles the cost

The Colonial Zone is full of interesting history. Oldest city in the New World. No one is tearing down Christopher Columbus statues here. If they tried they would be shot on site.

Lovely place with a lot of museums and restaurants

First time here and this is beautiful Bello muchas gracias República Dominicana

Historical and excellent outdoor place. Bring your kids for play or just sit, feel the fresh air and talk to family or friends.

Good place to chill and have a drink

Walking around the first city of the New World and being able to imagine life as it was 500 years ago is such a grand experience. Hotel Billini is an earthly paradise.

Beautiful place near the two main museums of la Zona Colonial

Great view, nice service. Price a little high.

Fantastic tour with guide that spoke both Spanish and English. Highly recommend to learn and experience the history of Dominican Republic and culture.

Plaza is clean, well maintained, and central to many walkable historic places to visit.

Really important place in Santo Domingo Offers a variety of restaurants with a nice wine to the plaza and there’s the Alcazar de Colon, a must see and historical building were the first viceroys lived

The location of the hotel is nice, in the center of colonial zone. So it's very safe and convenient to make a stay. The hotel room is not big but okay if you don't spend too much time in the room. The free breakfast is not too bad. The receptionists are friendly. However, there is only a white sheet as a quilt. It's a bit noisy in the night (downstairs there are shows and crowds every night).

Amazing place with historical views right in the heart of the Historical Colonial Zone, basically in the patio of Christopher Columbus House. The atmosphere was so nice and they have a whole street full of restaurants, think restaurant week all year long, people walking their dogs,kids playing and still So So Romantic and chill with Amazing weather, you guys should visit the place night time and day time. I love it! . The building is a museum and preserves all furniture and rooms from the first trip to America .

Santo Domingo's old city or Ciudad Colonial is one of the biggest attractions in the city. It has a lot of history, very nice restaurants, the oldest and first church in the Americas, Christopher Columbus' Alcázar, or many other places to visit. I highly recommend this area.

This is a very beautiful place. The river view and the history contained there is amazing

Beautiful open space to enjoy some sun and culture.

Very nice, everything was great. It is safe to walk around .

A good place to spend some time , eat good food and share some drinks while listening nice music, my favorite places Angelo and Pate e Palo.

Beautiful place to enjoy it with family and friends

Good historic place, to spend a weekday taking in what Santo Domingo has to offer .....a must visit.....

Plaza de Espana is the biggest and main square of old town (Zona Colonial) SD. It is set just by the first royal residence (Alcazar) in the Americas. There're several restaurants/bars around it, which are pleasant to refresh with a drink and enjoy the beauty around you.

Beautiful place, with amazing restaurants surrounding it. We went for the Jovar interactive art exhibit, and we had a blast... definitely recommend!

Love it! Nice environment,view, walk around and wonder. Worth visiting during the day and night

Historic monuments and Open spaces. I got to go with the family for a time especially the little ones that love to run it feels security atmosphere

Very nice public place inside the colonial zone, great maintenance

This is a delighted place with delicious beverage. Recommended!

Beautiful historic plaza, plenty to see, good food options

Walking through the plaza was scenic and buzzing with entertainment. We went at night and it was so beautiful. Would definitely visit here again.

Nice (expensive) restaurants, good recreational area. Parking is difficult.

Love this place I always come here at least twice there's few restaurants and small store you can buy suveniers and the view is amazing definitely a good spot to stop by and relax and walk.
