4 day Puerto Rico Itinerary: Based in Old San Juan
Plan For Me Dani
Available for hire
Puerto Rico has a special place in my heart, I traveled here as a child because my family loved it. My Dad played professional baseball and had fond memories of having spring training here. My Grandmother and her friends also vacationed here and would spend months out of the year here in a time share.
We grew to love Puerto Rico as a family and I was just recently able to revisit and fell back in love!
This 4 day itinerary can easily be tweaked to slow down or speed up the pace of your trip. If you only have 2-3 days you can cherry pick your favorite bits, and if you have more time I will add some additional suggestions.
This is a pretty action packed itinerary and uses Old San Juan as a base. I will detail why I chose Old San Juan and what alternatives you have if this doesn't feel like the area you'd like to base in.
This guide includes:
-Practical information about Puerto Rico
-4 FULL days of things to do, see, and where to eat
-Extra things I didn't get a chance to do
-A few other recommendations
-Personal insights from every spot and activity

Things to Know Before You Go
Getting Around
If you are going to base in Old San Juan and follow this iterinary pretty closely, you really don't need a car. Uber is extremely reasonable and easy to use here. If you're more adventurous you can also rent scooters and walk to most places you'd want to go. An uber to and from the airport is not that costly either.
Money
Most places take card here and everything is in US dollars. The US dollar here holds the same value that it does in the United States. It is always helpful to have a little cash for shops and snacks.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Plan For Me Dani
Available for hire
My name is Danielle and I have been planning trips for the past 10 years.
One thing special and unique about my guides is that I am not producing guides that I didn't currently use myself. The places in my guides are places I have been, the itineraries are itineraries that I have personally followed. Everything is real and I have vetted myself.
My travel planning story started with a honeymoon to Italy and since then it has grown each and every year. I love all kinds of travel! It's hard to fine a niche because I fit into so many categories. I love nature, hiking, and being outdoors. I love beaches and sunsets and sipping wine and cocktails in pretty places. I love learning about people and cultures and history. I love street art and busy cities and I also love small towns and quieter places. I will sleep in a hostel and I enjoy a beautiful hotel. I love South and Central America and I am obsessed with Europe. I've been to Asia twice and hope to get back in the next few years. I love to eat and one thing you'll always get from me are true and great reviews of places that I've personally eaten! I have just returned from Albania and I am working on guides from that trip!
My full time job is as a School Leader of Social and Emotional Learning in Philadelphia. All my travel is done on school breaks and in the summer. I have still managed to visit over 36 countries and countless cities along the way. Being a teacher my whole life is about planning and I do believe I am exceptional at it. I work VERY hard to plan incredible trips and now you can hopefully benefit from that as well!
