Old San Juan: Puerto Rico’s Colorful Time Capsule

Old San Juan is where history and Caribbean charm collide. With its blue cobblestone streets, candy-colored buildings, and ocean views, the city is a living postcard you can walk through.

Wander the Streets

The best way to see Old San Juan? Get lost. Every street surprises you with bold colors, flower-filled balconies, and hidden courtyards buzzing with life.

Explore the Forts

The massive walls of El Morro and Castillo San Cristóbal have guarded the city for centuries. Today, they’re the perfect spot to take in sweeping ocean views—or join locals flying kites on the grassy fields.

Stroll the Promenade

Follow Paseo de la Princesa at sunset for one of the city’s most magical walks. End at the Raíces Fountain, where bronze figures rise against the backdrop of the sea.

Taste Puerto Rico

Food is everywhere: crispy alcapurrias, hearty mofongo, and, of course, the iconic piña colada—born right here in San Juan.

Nightlife and Music

When night falls, the city lights up. Salsa spills into plazas, rooftop bars mix rum cocktails, and the streets pulse with rhythm.

Why Go?

Old San Juan isn’t just a stop—it’s the soul of Puerto Rico, wrapped in history, color, and music.
