What date are we talking about?

We arrive at 7am and depart at 1pm so we have decided to just stroll Old San Juan and maybe Condado area only.

To nsbirdie
Good idea. While in old san Juan and in front of pier #4 you can take bus #21 for 75 cents one way and correct change and go as far as the Ambassador Hotel then walk through the Condado area heading west again on Asfoird avenue , you can walk back to the ship this way but you can always take the B21 bus back.
Have a nice stroll

Victor:

Thanks you so much for the directions. I was having a hard time figuring out if the distance was walkable or what bus to take!

You're a treasure.

Happy New Years!!!

nsbirdie

When we have a cruise that will stop at San Juan, we just like to walk from the Cruise Terminal up to the Old Town and walk the street and enjoy the atmosphere.

We will even stop by and cool off with a Pina Colda, original style.

We also like to shop at the Linen & Jewerly Shops.

We did in the past do the Rain Forest and would try it again every once and awhile.

When we were down in San Juan , we went to the Forts
They were great , large and massive
Great time

Back in the 70`s when SALSA was becoming a new dance, these two guys had a lot to do with it. This October they will be getting together again.
If you are planning a trip in October, dont miss this concert.
