Mercado La Carreta

I've lived in Puerto Rico for over a year now and even though it's a small island there is a lot to see, do, and eat! When moving, my husband and I wanted to be in action so we chose the metro area of San Juan as our home base. We are extremely close to Viejo San Juan and even though it can be a bit touristy, I always recommend it for first timers to the island! In this free guide, you will get a sample of what my paid guides have to offer. I've handpicked cafes, brunch, dessert, spots for sightseeing, a few bars (future guide for that one), local tips, and more! Viejo San Juan can definitely be seen in a full day, as long as you have comfortable shoes! But, you can also split this guide up for multiple visits.

Welcome to San Juan, the captivating capital of Puerto Rico! My tourist guide as a local ensures easy, accessible, and stress-free exploration. Discover the best restaurants in Old San Juan, I provide recommendations for brunch and dining. Let this guide be your compass when it comes to choosing where to eat, and enjoy your stay in our beautiful caribbean island!

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 As always feel free to reach out to me as well at planforme.dani on instagram or at planformedani@gmail.com
