just trying to get a rough handle on getting around Santo Domingo on foot - how long a walk is it from one end to the other, say, from Parque Indepencia to the eastern end (ave del puerto, etc)? Odd question perhaps, but looking to do a reasonable amount of hoofing without resorting to taxi/bus (ie keeping it cheap).
thanks all!

I think you can pretty much walk all of the Colonial Zone. My guess would be 10 minutes from Independence park to The other end of el Conde and that would be at a slow pace. If you are walking from say, by Casona Dorada to el conde, another 15 minutes.

I have been to SD twice and have always walked anywhere I went in the colonial Zone without a problem.

I got back from SD a little over a week ago and you can walk the entire ZC with no issue in an afternoon.
