Santo Domingo is the city of beautiful botanical gardens, superb local markets where you can find everything from souvenirs to pieces of jewelry, great weather all year round, fascinating history, and vibrant nightlife. So be sure to visit Dominican capital.

4. Antigua Guatemala

This beautiful historic city is much calmer than Guatemala City and is a perfect destination for sightseeing trips as well as for romantic getaway. You can find here Spanish Baroque-influenced architecture, fabulous handicraft markets, chocolate museums, colonial churches, and ruins at every turn. No wonder that Antigua Guatemala has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site.

5. San Miguel de Allende

Being considered as one of the most beautiful cities in Mexico and being designated as the UNESCO World Heritage site, San Miguel De Allende is picturesque, photogenic, and incredibly romantic. The most recognized attraction is, of course, stunningly beautiful neo-Gothic Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel, but try also flying with hot air balloon, experience some of the festivals, taste delicious food, or stroll around beautiful streets.

6. Camagüey

Camagüey was founded in 1514 by Spanish colonists and was one of the seven original settlements founded by Spanish in Cuba. Sometimes also called Cuba's Catholic soul, Camagüey is home to many churches and cathedrals. But it is the city's atmosphere and labyrinth streets and alleyways, which makes Camagüey worth visiting.
