Getting around the Dominican Republic

Santo Domingo is the main road hub for travel north, southwest and east. Trunk roads link major towns, while secondary routes can change the pace of a trip into the mountains or smaller communities.

Why go

The DR-1, DR-2 and DR-3 radiate from Santo Domingo toward different parts of the country. Intercity buses offer an alternative to driving between major destinations, and the Santo Domingo Metro serves trips within the capital. For a journey into places such as Jarabacoa or Constanza, the smaller connecting roads matter as much as the main highway.

Useful to know

  • Plan each transfer by the specific route and destination, especially off the main highways.
  • Check current bus routes and departures before committing to a multi-stop day.
  • Within Santo Domingo, consider the Metro separately from intercity travel.
