You can do a lot in Santiago or let me say from Santiago you can go to several places that are not too far. If you like jazz you can go on Monday to SOHO, located on the roof of Bella Terra in Avenida Duarte at 10pm, and is a very nice environment. You can go to the beach, if you don't have a car, you can take a Caribe tour bus, and it takes you to a station 5 minutes walking from La playita in Sosua. Centro Leon is another option for you to go to the cigar fabric and the museum, where they have original Picasso's art and other famous artist. Casa Bader in the city for Quipes and what we called President "vestida de novia", Plaza Internacional in Aven. Duarte in front of Union Medica, just to exhibit yourself as many Santiagueses do. Jarabacoa, just 45 mins away from Santiago, go for smoke ribs (the best of the best) at restaurant named "Parada Sagrado Corazon" and then you can to to "El Salto de JImenoa", and during the night there are many bars and tipicos, depends on yur taste, so please you can do a lot in Santiago, believe me. Oh, and if you need a nice place to stay go to the rental section, I can offer you a nice place near the most important places in Santiago (Marola). Hope this help.
