San Juan

by Tom_Fields - last update: Feb 9, 2008

Old San Juan

San Juan
Dating from 1519, San Juan is one of the oldest cities in the Americas. Its mix of European, American, African, and native Indian cultures makes this a fascinating melting pot. If you visit Puerto Rico, I recommend staying here and taking day trips around the island, at least the first time.

Party Time!

San Juan's nightlife is lively, spontaneous, colorful, and above all fun. By nightlife, I don't mean going to some "dance club". I mean just listening for the music, then following your ears. Join the crowd. Something is always happening.
El Morro

Cultural Attractions

San Juan also has its share of fine museums, concerts, and other attractions. The most famous is El Morro, the old Spanish fort built in the 16th century. It's now a world heritage site. If you visit one thing in this city, El Morro should be it.
