The walking tour starts at the Macorix Museum House of Rum. Discover everything about the production and history of the country's most important export product, naturally including a tasting.
Along one of the oldest streets in the city, Calle 30 Marzo and Calle Imbert, we will reach “La Chocolatería.” There, you will learn all about the cultivation and production of Dominican chocolate, including, of course, some tasting.
Just around the corner are the city's most famous highlights: the completely pink “Paseo Doña Blanca” and the Street of Umbrellas.
Once you have taken your photos, you will then have the opportunity to purchase small souvenirs or gifts at Island Treasures.
Now we have reached the city center: Independence Park, with the Town Hall and San Felipe Cathedral, is a popular destination for locals, especially on weekends. With a typical Dominican ice cream, we recommend simply letting the city life wash over you.
From here, the route leads to the renowned Monsenor cigar factory, where a short tour of the cigar-rolling process provides insight into an important tradition. Immediately after that, a small pedestrian zone awaits our visit.
Along the largest street, the “Malecón” waterfront promenade, you will pass by the popular photo spot “Puerto Plata” and continue on to one of the city's most historic sites: Fortaleza San Felipe. From the fortress that once protected the city, the route takes us to Puerto Plata's former train station, which, although it was once an important transport hub, is now barely recognizable.
This is where our tour ends.
