A visit to the so-called walled city is like traveling back in time. As the second oldest town in America, a walk up and down blue cobblestone streets of Old San Juan is a gateway into the core of Puerto Rican history and culture. While in Old San Juan check on: - Castillo San Felipe del Morro - Paseo La Princesa - Castillo de San Cristobal - Fortaleza Street - Catedral Basilica Menor de San Juan Bautista - Beat the Heat with a Piragua in Old San Juan (A piragua is shaved ice with syrup. Piragueros (the piragua vendors) and their colorful wooden pushcarts can be found near El Morro) - La Perla Community (Here is a great puerto rican restaurant: La Garita Yaz Restaurant). This was the place where "Despacito" song was filmed.

Is Puerto Rico safe for LGBTQ+ travelers?

Puerto Rico is considered to be one of the most LGBTQ friendly destinations in the Caribbean, with the capital San Juan having an established and lively gay scene, particularly around Santurce and Condado Beach. LGBTQ Puerto Ricans have the same legal protections as heterosexual locals and same-sex marriage was legalized in 2015.

Is Puerto Rico safe for women travelers?

Puerto Rico is pretty safe for women travelers if you exercise some simple safety precautions and use your common sense as you would back home such as not leaving your valuables unattended and not wandering around poorly lit areas at night. Some may experience verbal harassment. While it will be mostly harmless, it’s best to ignore it.

Be Safe!

Like any other traveling is a matter of common sense. Be aware of the following: - Be careful with your belongings – don't be flashy with jewelry, cash, phones or cameras. Keep it locked up in the safe back at your accommodation if you're going out at night – it's not worth losing your cards or valuables. - If you plan to have a night out, always walk with someone else, in a group or grab an Uber. - If you rent a car don't leave valuables things inside or visible.
