Top Attractions in Puerto Rico

Old San Juan Fall in love with the beautiful cobblestone streets and colorful buildings that date back to the 16th and 17th centuries, when Puerto Rico was under Spanish possession. With an abundance of shops, open-air cafés, restaurants, gracious homes, and tree-shaded plazas, Old San Juan is a must-see. Fort San Cristobal Castillo de San Cristóbal is the largest fortification built by the Spanish in the New World. When it was finished in 1783, it covered about 27 acres of land, basically wrapping the city of San Juan. Today it’s a wonderful historic site to explore. Fort San Felipe del Morro This 16th-century citadel lies on the northwestern-most point of the islet of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Named in honor of King Philip II of Spain, the fort, also referred to as “El Morro” or “promontory,” was designed to guard the entrance to San Juan Bay and defend the city of San Juan from seaborne enemies.
