Old San Juan: Where History Meets Instagrammable Vibes
Old San Juan is the beating heart of San Juan, and it's dripping with history. Kick off your adventure with a chill stroll down Paseo de la Princesa, a waterfront walkway with ocean views so epic, they'll practically break the internet. Don't forget to snap a pic under the iconic Puerta de San Juan (aka San Juan Gate) – it's a leftover from the city's crazy-cool 16th-century defenses.

Next, dive into history at Castillo San Felipe del Morro, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that's basically a living museum. Explore the massive fort, imagining fierce battles and conquistadors while soaking in panoramic city views. Feeling adventurous? Head next door to Castillo San Cristobal, the LARGEST Spanish fort in the Americas. Get lost in its maze-like tunnels and peek through the sentry posts for some seriously historic selfies.
