About San Juan

As the oldest city in the US territory and the most populous city in Puerto Rico, San Juan attracts more and more visitors with a perfect combination of authenticity, magnificent beaches, and the festive atmosphere of numerous nightclubs and casinos. Today, San Juan (also known as La Ciudad Amurallada) is one of the best natural harbors in the Caribbean. Moreover, San Juan County has the biggest marine shoreline in the country (more than 400 miles). The metropolitan area is divided into 3 distinct areas: Old San Juan (located 12 km (7 miles) away from the Airport Puerto Rico), the Beach & Resort area, and other outlying communities such as Río Piedras, Hato Rey, Puerta de Tierra, and Santurce.

  • Old San Juan is the main tourist destination in the area. There are more than 400 perfectly restored 16th- and 17th-century Spanish colonial buildings boasting a 500-year history. Those who want to explore this bit of the Old World can go on a leisurely foot tour; this is the more practical option for exploring the area, especially given the narrow, steep streets, and heavy traffic.
  • The San Juan Beach & Resort area starts just outside of Old San Juan and includes Condado, Miramar, Ocean Park, and Isla Verde. It is a paradise for lovers of fancy lifestyle, casinos, nightclubs, and luxury boutiques.
  • The Parque de las Palomas (a 15-minute ride from Puerto Rico Intl Airport) is the ideal spot to enjoy a splendid view of the harbor, city, and mountains.

San Juan is also a major cruise ship destination and one of the largest home-based cruise ports in the world, hosting 500 ships.
