Dominican Republic Lonely Planet Guide

The Dominican Republic Lonely Planet Guide is your passport to the most relevant and practical advice on what to see and skip, and what hidden discoveries await you.  Walk the cobblestone streets, past beautifully restored mansions, churches and forts, many now converted into evocative museums and restaurants, in Santo Domingo’s Zona Colonial; boat out to Bahia de Las Aguilas, a stunning 10km-long stretch of postcard-perfect sand nearly hugging Haiti’s shores; or grab a front row seat and watch the thousands of humpback whales that congregate off the Peninsula de Samana­ to mate and give birth, all with your trusted travel companion.
