The monument is grand on its own, but definitely worth a trip up to the middle level. On the way back down make sure you take the stairs as there is a museum that exists on multiple floors on your way down. This museum describes the history of the revolution in the Dominican Republic, which is what the monument now symbolizes. Do not overpay for tickets in advance as at the monument, it’s just five dollars US. Also a great workout running up and down the stairs.

A lot of steps to climb, but once inside there is an elevator. Beautiful art murals & visual displays explaining historical eras. Great views of Santiago.

I love this place. Santiago is a Home to my husband and every time we go we walk around and enjoy the view.

Fresh, Windy, Historic and. Surrounded by restaurants, hotels, malls and other places of interest. Right in the center of the city and about 10-15 minutes away from the international airport. easy to get to with plenty public parking. Buy the ticket at the main entrance to go up yo the 5th floor where you can enjoy a wonderful 360 degrees view of the city and mountains. Your ticket will help to maintain the cleaning and other areas like the green area etc. Many guys (seller of beer) will approach you to sell you a refreshing beer, go ahead and enjoy it. It’s a secure place and don’t panic if you see law enforcement driving around even in motorcycles or walking, it helps to keep the city even safer. Did I mention the rides on the horse in carriage? Don’t miss it, I love it at night :) it’s romantic and tradition of the city itself. The city is becoming more attractive because in the pass year or two to the date, many changes in the architecture have occurred. New high rises and better public ground transportation are being built, the value has grown and it’s a perfect time to invest for those interested.

Worth a trip! Great people watching nice paths and statues galore Monument was closed when we went so we didn’t get inside Couple of great fun restaurants at the west side base of the park Fun place to relax and enjoy the views Great place to watch a beautiful Dominican sunset
