Car Hire Santiago - Mini guide to Santiago

This city, which is the second-largest city in the Dominican Republic should not confused with the city of the same name in Chile. Nevertheless, it has been around since Christopher Columbus came here in 1495 and made a fortress here.

He was the governor of Santiago, before he decided to go out and discover the Indies! In 1504, the city shifted to the banks of a river named Yaque. The name Santiago has been taken from the same name of the city in Spain, and that is because the homesick settlers decided to name this city after a saint Santiago of Compostela. It is also known as Santiago do los 30 Caballeros, or the city of the 30 gentlemen, who founded the city in 1514.

Everybody who is interested in the history and the culture of this area is going to be fascinated by everything which Santiago has to offer to the casual tourist. You're also going to find shopping centres, cultural activities, and lively nightclubs here. No wonder Santiago is called the heart city of the Dominican Republic. This city is one of the most important commercial places in the Dominican Republic. It is also bidding to become more and more tourist focused, because about one million visitors visit it every year.
