As a tourist, you can stick to the Zona Colonial, the nearby beaches(Juan Dolio or Guayacanes but not Boca Chica), and Los Tres Ojos are beautiful to see. Just be careful not to get ripped off by people preying on anyone. If you are not very assertive in not wanting to buy souvenirs or having to purchase a beach table package just because you want to go to the beach, they will take advantage. It happens to us natives too jaja. But those are annoyances rather than actual dangers to your safety. The actual danger comes from not following sense or doing stupid things at night. But even then, I'd also be careful walking during the day. Use Uber as a tourist for anything past your hotel or airbnb. Unless you drove in India, you shouldnt drive here. Punta Cana or Las Terrenas is much better and safer if you are just looking for a getaway. Wish i could afford that but maybe you can.. jeje
