Arrival and getting around

The majority of visitors arrive at
Aeropuerto Internacional Las AmA©ricas
(tel 809/549-0858), the country's largest, located 13km east of the city proper. The airport is far enough away from the city centre to make a
taxi
the most efficient way into town if you're not renting a car; you shouldn't pay more than RD$300.
A fairly sophisticated bus system links Santo Domingo to the rest of the country. If arriving by bus , you'll have no trouble finding a taxi or public transport from your terminal, including Caribe Tours at Av 27 de Febrero and Navarro (tel 809/221-4422); Metro at MA?ximo GA?mez 61 and Av 27 de Febrero (tel 809/566-7126); and Terrabus at Guarocuya 4 (tel 809/531-0383).
There is no official
public transit
system in Santo Domingo, but the informal network of
pA?blicos
and
guaguas
manage to cover every inch of the city and can get you pretty much anywhere for under RD$10. Just stand on the corner of a major street and wave your arms at the first car with a taxi sign. More comfortable are private
taxis
; reputable operators include Atupal (tel 809/554-0922), Cristiano (tel 809/594-2049) and El Refugio (tel 809/687-1572). Other useful information
