Best Times to Visit Santo Domingo
The best time to visit Santo Domingo is between November and March. That's when this city experiences its best beach weather, even if there aren't any great beaches to enjoy it on. April to July also makes a nice to time for travel, but at all costs you should avoid this area during the hurricane season, from August to October. Whenever you visit you'll find the hotel rates are agreeable; even the best properties have rooms available for less than $100 a night.

From late fall and throughout the winter the average highs are in the mid 80s; lows in the high 60s. In other words, it's perfect walking weather for strolls along the Malecón.

If you were looking to save a little money on a wintertime trip to the DR, consider visiting this city instead. Key Events:
