Upon leaving your ship take a left and walk along the street if you can walk. Take a couple large bottles water to stay hydrated and rest along the way. We walked in shade most of the time and stopped three time before we reached the split by the harbor. To the left is a long path along the sea... More 

We stayed at El Converto Hotel 3 night before our Cruise, love Old San Juan, we walk everywhere, try lots PR foods and beers.

From the taxi dropped us off we knew this area would be a treat from the old fort, church, shops, resturants history and the Flamicgo dance show just a great experince.

Beautiful city with great food and forts! Make sure you have water if your walking on a hot day or take the free hop off hop on

Old San Juan is definitely worth the visit. Perfect for a leisurely stroll. Inside its colorful buildings, you can find a mix of souvenir shops, artsy boutiques, upscale stores, cafes, and restaurants. Around the city you'll find plenty of landmarks that give the city its character.

This is a must-see. Go in every shop! Talk with the local people! Experience the food! We visited 2 local churches that were gleaming with history and beauty. They have a true PR street fair every weekend that has lots of crafts, food and DANCING!!!
