Description

The walking tour starts at the Macorix Museum House of Rum. Discover everything about the production and history of the country's most important export product, with tastings, of course. Along one of the oldest streets in the city, Cale 30 Marzo and Cale Imbert, we reach 'La Chocolateria.' Here you will learn everything about the cultivation and production of Dominican chocolate, including tastings, of course. Just around the corner are the city's most famous highlights: the completely pink 'Paseo Dona Blanca' and the street of umbrellas. Once you've taken your photos, you can purchase small souvenirs or gifts at Island Treasures. Now you've reached the city center: Independence Park with the town hall and San Felipe Cathedral are particularly popular destinations for locals on weekends. We recommend enjoying the city life with a typical Dominican ice cream. From here, the route leads to the renowned Monsenor cigar factory, where a short tour of cigar rolling provides insight into an important tradition. Immediately afterwards, a small pedestrian zone opens up to our visitors. Along the largest street, the 'Malecon' waterfront promenade, we continue past the popular photo spot 'Puerto Plata' to one of the most historic places in the city: the Fortelaza San Felipe. From the fortress that once protected the city, the path leads us to the former railway station of Puerto Plata, which, although an important transport hub in the past, is now barely recognizable. This is where our tour ends.
