Ponce Travel Guide: 118 reviews and 210 photos

Ponce is Puerto Rico's 2nd largest city. It is was founded in 1692 and named after Ponce de Leon. It is situated in the center of Puerto Rico's southern coast.

Walking around the city is what I would picture Old San Juan would be like without all the commercialism.

Kings Cream is the best natural ice cream u will eat. Normally its a big line but u can avoid it if you ask them about the other near by store. everytime im in ponce, i get coco ice cream @ kings ice cream. I sure wish they had a store in ny.
