The best time to visit is from December to April, which is a period known as the dry season. During these months, temperatures average around 75–85°F (24–29°C) with little rain—perfect for beach days and outdoor activities. The rainy season runs from May to November, with the highest risk of tropical storms between August and October, which may affect your travel plans.
Popular tourist areas like Punta Cana, Samaná, and the Colonial Zone of Santo Domingo are considered safe for tourist. However, avoid less-known neighborhoods, especially at night, and be cautious about displaying valuables.
The official currency is the Dominican Peso (DOP). While U.S. dollars are accepted in many tourist areas, it’s usually better to pay in local currency for better exchange rates. You can exchange money at banks, exchange offices, or withdraw from ATMs. Credit cards are widely accepted in hotels and large restaurants, but cash is handy for markets, taxis, and small purchases.

The country does not observe daylight saving time, so the time difference varies depending on the U.S. season.
