The Dominican Republic is an excellent destination for couples seeking a romantic getaway. The Dominican Republic is easily reached several direct flights a day from U.S. cities. A passport, even a driver's license, is sufficient to get a tourist card, which costs ten dollars at the airport. Hardly a big price to pay for your romantic gift!
History and Romance: Your Romantic Vacation Begins
Once you arrive, your romantic vacation can begin. If you choose to stay in or around Santo Domingo, the nation's capital city, you will be able to enjoy all of the beauty of the area's beaches, as well as the city's history and culture.
Santo Domingo boasts the home of Christopher Columbus, a colonial fort, and a historic district. A stroll through the historic district at night is a must for your romantic getaway. You can stop in to a sidewalk caf? for a bite to eat or to dance a merengue on the street.
For the adventurous, and those who love the night life, another destination particular to the Dominican Republic is the famous underground cave dance club, the Guacara Taina. It must be included in your romantic vacation. For a small fee, you can descend deep into the earth and dance the night away among stalagmites and stalactites.

The Dominican Republic is the perfect romantic getaway. Your other half is sure to appreciate the gift of romance, rest and relaxation! Whether your companion's idea of romance is a fun night of dancing in the cave of Guacara Taina, or if your significant other thinks a moonlit night in a quaint caf? is romantic, you're sure to find the perfect place in the Dominican Republic.
