In this video, weā€™re exploring Santiago, Dominican Republicā€™s second largest city, and showing just how modern itā€™s become. If you havenā€™t been here in a few yearsā€¦ you might not even recognize it.

We start our day at the iconic Monumento a los HĆ©roes de la RestauraciĆ³n, right in the heart of the city. While weā€™ve been inside before, this time weā€™re soaking up the atmosphere around itā€”and taking in how much the surrounding area has evolved.

Next, we check out one of the biggest changes in Santiago: the TelefĆ©rico de Santiago šŸš” This cable car system is part of the cityā€™s growing public transportation network and gives a totally different perspective of the city from above.

From there, we head to one of the newest and most modern developments in the cityā€”the Ɓgora Santiago Center, a massive new mall that feels like something straight out of Miami or Panama.

Weā€™re also staying at the AC Hotel Santiago by Marriott, one of the newest hotels in the city, and give you a full tour so you can decide if itā€™s worth it for your next trip. The highlight? A rooftop pool with incredible views over Santiagoā€”definitely one of the coolest places to relax in the city.

And of courseā€¦ we had to end the day with a local recommendation šŸ» We head to Alba Brewing in Los Jardinesā€”one of Santiagoā€™s best craft beer spots.

Whether youā€™re planning a trip to the Dominican Republic, thinking about living here, or just curious about how cities like Santiago are evolvingā€¦ this one might surprise you.

  3. The monorail is expected to be completed this year. They are about to start the construction of a monorail line in Santo Domingo too.

  4. Cibao International Airport has been projected to become one of the busiest airports in the country. located 15 kilometers (9.3 mi) southeast of Santiago City's center. The airport has a new terminal under construction expected to be inaugurated in mid-2026. Thank you for showcasing the beauty of the city where my mother was born and raised, and where I spent most of my summer and spring break vacations as a child. Blessing my friends.

  10. Spectacular environtment and amazing views you re watching in my country for sure is a blessed city hope the spectations never stop always surprising every city you go throug keep talking better and better thanks a lot for showing us the paradise.

  12. Saludos. Gracias por venir a Santiago de los Caballeros , La Ciudad CorazĆ³n, RepĆŗblica Dominicana. Gracias por su video sobre esta hermosa Ciudad.
    Bendiciones.

  13. Fun fact: Ever wonder why the telefĆ©rico looks empty? A lot of Dominicans are actually afraid of heightsā€¦ so they avoid it

  14. That area is called Los Jardines , The Gardens in English, Agora open 2 years ago it is a beautifull place to visit, Santiago and Puerto Plata are recieving a lot of private and government investmets.
    It is intended to double up the commercial and busines activity in the next 10 years. Santiago is the capital city of El Cibao, region which is composed of 16 provinces with a large production of agriculture farms, lie cow, chicken , Pork farms, tobaco, milk, vegetables bananas, plantains, sweet potatoes, casava, beans, onions garlic, oregano, Oranges lemons, etc. etc. That region produces 60 % of what is consumed by the entire island. Also the airport is been expanded to accomodate larger planes that will start coming from Europe next year. The future of Santiago is very promessing.

  17. I can see why you like Santiago more than the capital. From what Iā€™ve hear itā€™s a lot cleaner and thereā€™s not as much traffic, which are the two main reasons I canā€™t stand the capital, even though thatā€™s where Iā€™m from.

  19. Hi, if the Ambar highways is built the distance between Santiago and Puerto Plata is about half hour, it cuts the mountain range. The old town is in the process of renovation, the air cables and wires are being placed underground, cobblestone streets, restoring old facades, etc. The iconic hotel Mercedes, built in the 30's was beautifully restored and turned into an art museum and a cultural center, free admission.
