Santo Domingo is the capital of the Dominican Republic, with a population of about 2,201,941. It uses the Atlantic Standard Time time zone (IANA identifier America/Santo_Domingo).
Santo Domingo does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC−4 all year round. The time difference with places that do change their clocks — such as most of Europe and North America — therefore shifts by one hour twice a year.
