No visit to Santo Domingo is complete without savouring its culinary delights. Indulge in *mangú*, a beloved breakfast dish of mashed plantains, or try *sancocho*, a hearty meat and vegetable stew. Pair your meal with a glass of *mamorrey*, a refreshing local drink, or a smooth Dominican rum. For shopping, head to Mercado Modelo, where you’ll find everything from larimar jewellery to hand-rolled cigars. The Dominican peso is the local currency, but US dollars are widely accepted. Taxis and ride-sharing services are readily available, making it easy to navigate the city. Whether you’re soaking up history, lounging on a nearby beach, or dancing to live music in a local *colmado*, Santo Domingo promises an unforgettable taste of the Caribbean.
