Santiago de los Caballeros offers a blend of history and culture, with key sights including the iconic Monument to the Heroes of the Restoration and the comprehensive Centro León museum. The official currency is the Dominican Peso (DOP), though US dollars are generally accepted in tourist areas. Visitors will find the overall price level to be more affordable compared to many North American or European destinations. The city experiences a tropical climate, meaning warm to hot temperatures and humidity year-round. While showers can occur anytime, the main rainy season is from May to November, which also coincides with hurricane season.
