What to do and see in San Juan, Puerto Rico: The Best Traveler Resources

March 12, 2022 Janette Largent

The festive city of San Juan is the perfect place to experience true Puerto Rican culture. Get to know its roots by exploring the vibrant neighborhood of El Viejo San Juan (Old San Juan), which consists mostly of Spanish colonial buildings. Flesh out your self-guided history lesson with a visit to El Castillo San Felipe del Morro, a 16th century citadel that’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Then reward yourself with a cooling dip at Luquillo or Carolina Beach, then a tasty tour of the Bacardi rum plant.

This convention center is located in what used to be a US Naval Base in Isla Grande. Next to the Isla Grande Airport, in Miramar. The architecture is inspired by the ocean, with different tones of blue to symbolize waves.
