Our Local Experts say:

In addition to warm sun and stunning beaches, the Dominican Republic offers many other kinds of amusement, like visiting museums. Most of the museums are concentrated in the Colonial Zone of Santo Domingo.

Amber or Larimar Museums are found in the capital city of Santo Domingo, and also in Puerto Plata and Bavaro. Even Underwater Living Museums are an option: here visitors can experience the beauty of the underwater world and explore the galleons and pirate shipwrecks found in the Caribbean waters.
