Wander the Victorian gingerbread architecture and colonial plazas of Puerto Plata's historic center with a local historian.
What to expect
Your guide leads you through the pastel Victorian mansions of the old town, explaining the city's sugar and tobacco trade history. You'll visit the 16th-century Fort San Felipe overlooking the harbor and pause at a local café for Dominican coffee. The pace and stops adjust entirely to your curiosity.
Good to know
Old town is walkable from the pier, roughly 10-15 minutes; go mid-morning to avoid the heat of midday.
