When examining the city’s architecture and street culture, there is no denying that this is the most diverse city on the island of Hispaniola.
Many people eliminate Santiago de los Caballeros from their itineraries as a result, since they believe it to be nothing more than a modern, industrial center with little to offer visitors.
However, what they don’t know is that the town has several hidden treasures that make it worth visiting.
In fact, Santiago de los Caballeros is the place to go if you want a more urban holiday experience without the regular tourist crowds.
Its main attraction is the Monumento a los Héroes de la Restauración, or Monument to the Heroes of the Restoration, which also happens to be the tallest building in Santiago.
There are also plenty of museums and historical sites to be explored, as well as a large number of restaurants that offer a unique taste experience found nowhere else in the country.
If this sounds like the kind of place you’d like to visit, check out our comprehensive list of recommendations below to make the most out of your trip
