Waterways: Santo Domingo is situated along the coast of the Caribbean Sea, and while it doesn’t have extensive navigable waterways within the city, the Ozama River plays a significant role. The Ozama River flows through the heart of Santo Domingo and has historical importance as it was the site of the first European settlement in the Americas.
Bridges: The city is connected by several bridges that span the Ozama River. One of the notable bridges is the Puente Juan Bosch, which connects the eastern and western parts of the city. The Puente de la 17 is another important bridge. Keep in mind that the names and number of bridges might have changed, and new ones could have been constructed since my last update.
Main Streets: Santo Domingo has a network of streets and avenues that form the city’s transportation system. Some of the main streets and avenues include:
- Avenida George Washington (Malecón): This is a scenic oceanfront avenue along the Caribbean Sea, known for its waterfront views, parks, and recreational areas.
- Avenida Winston Churchill: A major avenue named after the former British Prime Minister, it intersects with other important roads and is lined with businesses and commercial establishments.

- Avenida Máximo Gómez: Another important avenue that intersects with the Avenida 27 de Febrero, providing access to different parts of the city.
