Santo Domingo
"La Capital", as it's typically called by Dominicans, Santo Domingo is positioned on the tropical southern Caribbean coast of the Dominican Republic. Being a living museum that offers the sight of New World firsts scattered around the cobblestone streets of the Zona Colonial, we can truly say that Santo Domingo is the perfect holiday destination. Santo Domingo was the first European settlement in the New World, it boasts the hemisphere's first cathedral, first monastery, first hospital, first univerity and first law court.
The large, substantially intact colonial district is home to dozens of wonderful old buildings and a dramatic setting right on the river. Visitors don't need to stray from the Colonial City to enjoy a great time in the city, but it is advisable not to ignore the modern part of Santo Domingo. A land of contrasts with its modern sophistication, old world charm and Latin charisma, Santo Domingo is a city where relaxation and enjoyment are too little to speak about.
Curaçao
Famous for its fine liqueur made from the sweetened peel of bitter oranges and for its sunny climate and secluded beaches, Curaçao has a rich and diverse history, which explains the international flavor of its culture and the curious mixture of Old and New World charm. The people claim descent from over 50 different ethnic backgrounds, and the native language, Papiamentu, is a creole mixture of Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish, English, French, African, and some Arawak Indian.
Curaçao’s rich history comes alive in the stunning architecture to be seen all across the island—especially in its capital city, Willemstad.
Exquisite beaches and spectacular diving, stunning architecture, activities and adventures for every interest, plus a multi-cultural diversity, intriguing music, art and cuisine. That's what makes Curaçao unique!
