]]>While there are many places in the Dominican Republic that accept credit cards, chances are that you’ll need cash at some point. Your best bet is to have U.S. dollars with you, as the currency is commonly accepted through the country and the easiest one to exchange. The local currency is the Dominican peso, but you can only get it once you set your foot in the Dominican Republic.
The Dominican Republic has a pleasant tropical climate, meaning that it is mostly hot there all year round. However, the best time to visit the county is between November and April, when there is less humidity and chances of hurricanes. On the other hand, May is considered the worst month for tourists due to frequent rains.
If you’re looking for something to quench your thirst in the Dominican Republic, don’t reach for tap water. The tap water is not safe to drink in the country, and you should always look to have some bottled water around.
Uber is the safest and most efficient way to go from point A to point B in the Dominican Republic. The service is available in all major cities, and using it will save you much time and allow you to avoid overcrowded public transportation.
