Getting there from Quebec City and Montreal

Otherwise plan on one connection from eastern Canada, typically through Montreal or Toronto. Availability is very seasonal, so the easy direct options thin out outside the winter months.

- Visiting the Amber Museum
- Relaxing at Playa Dorada or Sosúa beach
Good to know before you go
The currency is the Dominican peso though US dollars are widely accepted, and Spanish is the language. Public buses (guaguas) are cheap but chaotic, so most visitors rely on official taxis, resort shuttles, or a rental car; the Uber app works in town, and parking is easy outside the centre, though under-25 drivers often pay a young-driver surcharge on rentals. Resorts are safe, but stay cautious at night.
