Fodor's Expert Review Acropolis Center

Located at the intersection of Avenida Winston Churchill and Calle Rafael Augusto Sanchez in the Piantini district, Acropolis Center has become a favorite shopping arena for the young fashionistas and hip capitaleños (residents of Santo Domingo). Stores such as Lacoste, Kenneth Cole, United Colors of Benetton, and Barone have today's look and style. Prices, however, are generally more than what you would pay in the States. There are also several U.S. chain restaurants like Outback and Hooters, not to mention banks, a pharmacy, bars, and a Caribbean Cinema showing the latest Hollywood movies.
