Old San Juan is a compact area so this tour would take you about 60 minutes if you simply walked to each location without stopping. I would budget about 3-4 hours to give you enough time to take in the sites, tour the historic buildings, and enjoy the food.
We’ll start at Castillo San Cristobal, the largest fortress that the Spanish built in the New World. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this fortress is part of the San Juan National Historic Site, an area that includes fortresses, bastions, and the old city wall. Castillo San Cristobal was built in 1783 to protect the city from attacks when other Europ...
Calle Fortaleza is a shopping street in Old San Juan, located by the governor’s mansion. There are tons of little shops and restaurants here. This street used to be an Instagram hotspot when there were umbrellas floating at the top. When I visited San Juan in Old San Juan in July 2019, the umbrellas were unfortunately no longer there. The street wa...
La Fortaleza, also known as Palacio de Santa Catalina, is the official residence of the governor of Puerto Rico. Located at the base of Calle de La Fortaleza, it is the oldest, continuously used governor’s mansion in the western hemisphere. This blue building sits on a fortification by the Caribbean Sea that was built by the Spanish in the 16th cen...
I was looking for some cheap mojitos and found this place on Yelp. When I walked in, I felt like I had stepped into some kind of punk rock tattoo parlor. That’s the vibe of this place – dimly-lit and dingy. With the somewhat pretentious writings on the wall, like ‘Prohibido Joder,’ and “Donald Eres Un Pendejo,” (not that I disagree with this statem...
San Se Marisqueria is a tapas bar-restaurant located down the street from the co-living community, Outsite San Juan, on Calle San Sebastian, from which it gets its name. This is by far the best restaurant in Old San Juan where I had the privilege of dining. I would recommend their Mofongo, a signature Puerto Rican dish consisting of mashed plantain...
Calle Imperial is one of the iconic streets in Old San Juan with a flag of Puerto Rico on the wall. This flag is no ordinary mural; it has cultural significance. Known as Callejon de la Puerta Bandera, it is a symbol of Puerto Rican identity and pride and one of two flag murals in Old San Juan. The other one, located on Calle San Jose, is black and...
Further west of Castillo San Cristobal is another fort called Castillo Felipe del Morro, simply known as El Morro. This fortress is also part of the San Juan National Historic Center. It has six levels which were built over the course of 200 years, starting in the 1500s. This place has so much history, it will take you at least 90 minutes to fully ...
Paseo de la Princesa, which translates to Princess Promenade, is a pedestrian walkway by the San Juan Bay. Located in the historic district of Old San Juan, this picturesque promenade was built in 1853. It has undergone various renovations since then. You’ll take in breathtaking views of the San Juan Bay on one side, with the waves from the Caribbe...
Catedral of San Juan Bautista, also known as the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist, is the second-oldest cathedral in the Americas. Completed in 1540, this Roman Catholic cathedral finest examples of Spanish colonial architecture. It features a mixture of Gothic and Baroque architecture, with an ornately-decorated altar made of gold. This towerin...
