Good to know before you go
The currency is the Dominican peso, and it is wise to carry cash for smaller establishments. The Zona Colonial is best explored on foot, and while the city has a modern metro and cheap shared vans (guaguas), most visitors stick to registered taxis or Uber, which are easy and affordable; a rental car helps for day trips out of the city, though under-25s often face a young-driver surcharge and downtown traffic is heavy and hectic. Spanish is the main language, so a few phrases help, and keep an eye on belongings in busy areas.
