Thread: Walking old San Juan

Walking around Old San Juan is the best way to immerse yourself in its timeless beauty and charm. Even the most determined tourist can't cover all there is to see and do here in one day; among the more celebrated monuments and memorials are countless small wonders that will tempt the historian the shopper, the diner, and the curious child in you.
This walking tour covers the major points of interest, focusing on the historic buildings that make up the character of the old city. How long the tour takes will depend on how much time you want to devote to each stop, but you should be able to cover it all in one day. If you don't want to walk, there are free trolleys that you can pick up at various points in the city that cover all of these stops. But I'd recommend hitting the streets.

We did the 2 hour San Juan Segway tour in San Juan in January 2011. This was a great way to see Old San Juan since the streets are somewhat hilly and can be difficult for walkers with bad knees. The Segways are easy to learn and are really fun to drive. The tour guide is great. Check out their website.

The other day walking around old San Juan there was a guy sitting in front of the cathedral playing his guitar and harmonica. These are some of the things that can be done as you walk around the old city.
Having a tour guides who likes to sing SALSA is also a lot of fun...
