best places to visit in puerto rico
San Juan
San Juan is the capital city and most populous municipality in Puerto Rico.
Walking the streets of Old San Juan, with its lovely colonial architecture and imposing forts, is like stepping back into another era. Puerto Rico is an interesting island with Spanish Caribbean culture and an obvious American touch. The combination of the two cultures shows through the mix of the Spanish colonial history layered with present-day Puerto Rican life. The city is the second oldest city in the Americas and has been inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its Spanish colonial buildings. Today, you can dine, shop, or even stay in some of these beautiful old structures.
