The Dominican Republic occupies two-thirds of the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean, with the capital Santo Domingo serving as one of the region's cultural hubs. The country is known for its paradise beaches, tropical rainforests, mountain landscapes, and vibrant music and dance traditions. The tropical climate makes it a popular year-round destination but also means that travelers may be exposed to diseases not found in Sweden.
