Travel tips for Dominican Republic

  • 1

    Carry small bills (pesos) for local markets and taxis to avoid unfavorable exchange rates or being overcharged.

  • 2

    Visit off-the-beaten-path destinations like Samaná or Barahona for authentic experiences without the tourist crowds.

  • 3

    Always haggle politely in markets, as vendors often inflate prices for tourists—starting at 50-60% of the asking price is common.
