Day in Old San Juan

The walk to Old San Juan from the Renaissance is about 3.5 miles. Travel options include an infrequent .75 cent bus, 15 dollar taxi ride or a free 50 minute walk.

Old San Juan is a maze of little streets filled with souvenir shops and cafes. There is also a Marshall's which offers 3 floors of discounted treasures. Since I arrived on a Monday most of the museums were closed. I wandered the grounds of the Old San Juan fort but skipped the actual tour which was $3 a person. The grounds also houses a gift shop and a clean bathroom that you can use for .25 cents.

I had an enjoyable afternoon strolling around but unless you are shopping for something specific. You can see most of Old San Juan in a couple hours.

Hello San Juan!

Off on a little side trip before I leave for Morocco next week! So far I would highly recommend the Renaissance La Concha hotel. It's been recently renovated and sits in the heart of the Condado neighborhood filled with shops and cafes.
