Only drink bottled water

Tap water in Santo Domingo is not safe for drinking. Always use sealed bottled water. Avoid ice from unknown sources — gastrointestinal infections are common among tourists.

Urban heat is real

Santo Domingo is a busy city with intense heat and humidity. Wear light clothing, stay hydrated, and apply SPF 50+ sunscreen even when walking — heatstroke and dehydration are common visitor complaints.
