For a Caribbean city, it’s very modern in terms of the entertainment that it offers, it also has great restaurants. But be warned about the city’s traffic, as traffic jams can easily last over an hour, and drivers don’t always abide by traffic laws. Also the city is very hot and humid.

Our city has a lot of traffic on peak hours. It’s weather is quite hot year-round. We have deliveries from almost any store or supermarket. People are very friendly, and are always willing to help others. It is quite safe to live in Santo Domingo, even though you should always protect yourself.

It’s a very fast-paced city with a lot of traffic due to bad organization of the public transportation. The people are incredibly nice, warm and the culinary experience is one of a kind. The beaches are worldwide known because of its clear water and perfect weather.

A couple of things be aware if you are moving to Santo Domingo are that, even though is a beautiful city traffic during the morning tends to be really heavy. There are a lot of people who use motor cycles as their main transportation mean and you have to be always aware of your surroundings when you are headed somewhere. Most days are sunny, because we live in the tropics but rain can come at any given moment which make the weather really unpredictable.

If you are thinking about living in Santo Domingo you should first consider the weather, it has a tropical wet climate and is usually hot. Another point to be careful about is public transportation, which is not good or consistent. renting in the wrong neighborhood could bring about some issues if detailed research is not conducted first.

In Santo Domingo, you should always be careful on the streets and be on the lookout for burglars on motorbikes. Also, public transportation is a disaster, so you should consider grabbing a taxi for you daily commute. However, there’s everything you’d expect in a city!

It is a very crowded and busy city. Cars honking and motorcycles revving their engines can be heard as early as six in the morning. Traffic is awful. You can take as long as an hour to get home from work. Despite these shortcomings, I would further describe it as a marvelous and welcoming city to anyone who decides to live here.
