San Juan, Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico (USA)

A 7-day trip to San Juan, Puerto Rico

A 500-year-old walled citadel married to a nocturnal, polyrhythmic modern metropolis.

San Juan delivers a dual personality that few Caribbean ports can match: centuries-old Spanish stone bastions on one side of the bay, and a humming, neon-lit urban culture on the other. It is equal parts historic open-air museum, culinary hub, and urban beach retreat. Travelers who limit their visit to a three-hour cruise turnaround miss the late-night street energy of Santurce, the oceanfront surf culture of Ocean Park, and the layered complexity of Boricua gastronomy.
