We knew that we would see some historical buildings in downtown Puerto Plata, also known as the historic district. The street art and Umbrella Street were pleasant surprises.
After exiting the cruise port, the historic center is a 3/4 mile walk. The most difficult part is getting to the sidewalk while being hounded by taxi drivers and "guides". We almost turned back, but asked a gentleman who appeared to be a port supervisor if we could walk. Once he said that it was "no problem" to go on our own, everyone left us alone and we were on our way.
Would you favor the art and handmade crafts market or the historic church, square and lodge?
