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 city’s oldest streets, 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 entirely pink “Paseo Doña Blanca” and the Street of Umbrellas.
Once you’ve taken your photos, you’ll then have the opportunity to purchase small souvenirs or gifts at Island Treasures.
Now we have reached the city centre: Independence Park, with its town hall and San Felipe Cathedral, is a popular destination for locals, especially on weekends. We recommend simply taking in the city life while enjoying a typical Dominican ice cream.
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 afterwards, a small pedestrian zone awaits us.
Along the largest street, the “Malecón” waterfront promenade, you will pass by the popular photo spot “Puerto Plata” and continue to one of the city's most historic sites: Fortaleza San Felipe. From the fortress that once protected the city, our route takes us past Puerto Plata's former train station, which, although once an important transport hub, is now barely recognisable.
This is where our tour ends.
