Puerto Rico

San Juan is located on the north shore of Puerto Rico and its historic center, known as Old San Juan, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with its preserved city walls, 16th- and 17th-century colonial architecture, and cobblestone streets made from the ballast of Spanish ships arriving more than 500 years ago (an even earlier arrival by ship was Christopher Columbus in 1493). Today these streets are lined with antique shops, jewelry stores, art galleries, souvenir stands, and array of restaurants and sidewalk cafes offering mouth-watering Puerto Rican cuisine, as well as flavors from around the world.

Adjacent to Old San Juan, on a point guarding the entrance into San Juan Bay, sits Castilla San Felipe del Morro (“El Morro”). Designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, the fort is the most famous site in Puerto Rico and offers a rich history and iconic views. East of Old San Juan is the newer section of the city and the resort areas of Condado and Isla Verde, offering the best of both worlds — city life and resort escape with pampering hotels, excellent beaches, and a thriving dining and nightlife scene.
