Stop by the building where the first Bermuda stamp was printed, see some of these famous first stamps and pick up a few contemporary commemorative stamps for yourself.
The post office is not just a place to post your postcards and letters. This is a slice of history; right next to the park and the museum this is a wonderful place to pop in and see beautiful old Bermuda cedar and they do special editions of stamps which is a great gift and also great for collectors. Often missed but shouldnt be. It will only take you 5 minutes to see but is well worth a visit if you havent been before

Visitors can take guided tours through this World Heritage Site, a 40-room mansion completed in 1540 that was used to defend against foreign invaders.
This beautiful blue mansion, facing San Juan Harbor, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built in the 1500s as a fortress, it is now the residence and working offices of the Governor of Puerto Rico. Half hour tours are free of charge! It includes parts of the mansion, chapel, dungeons and gardens with great views. In 1846 the facade was changed to give it a more palatial look instead of military. It is the oldest functioning executive mansion in the Western Hemisphere.

Visitors to the Capitol can make a reservation for a guided tour. The history of the Capitol building began on February 7, 1907, when Don Luis Munoz Rivera, an important figure of the political history of Puerto Rico and legislator at the time, introduced House Bill 84 to the House of Delegates. Although the bill was passed and a neoclassical design had been chosen, the construction of the Capitol encountered several fiscal, economic and political difficulties which resulted in the work being suspended twice. Despite all difficulties encountered throughout the years, the Capitol building was finally inaugurated on February 11, 1929. On June 30, 1977, the Capitol of Puerto Rico was designated a Historic Landmark and on November 18, 1977, it was listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places.
We were able to book a 1:30pm guided tour Friday for 8 adults and 1 five year old. It was easy to walk to from our hotel, and sits right in front of the ocean. Amazing view of the water and great picture opportunities. The building was amazing with marble flooring to mosaic tiles. We had an amazing tour guide Pedro Rodriguez. He was young, full of energy and kept things interesting. He truly was passionate with sharing the history of Puerto Rico. The tour was very informative and just long enough to hold the five year old’s attention. Thank you Pedro for a great tour!

Besides the nice architecture, this is also an art gallery, that you can visit for free. It is open until quite late in the evening.

This is the place where decisions are made: this government building also houses a fine collection of Bermuda cedar furniture.
You can smell the cedar when you walk in, and the fixtures are all in nice condition and the small art gallery has a fantastic exhibit of a local artist who was also the historian and town crier for many years Worth walking through
