Unlike many Caribbean cities, where visitors fly in and then leave to find smaller tourist areas, San Juan is a beautiful capital city, with soft sand beaches, all kinds of cultural attractions, and a vibe that could easily make it a destination for an entire vacation. Beachfront luxury hotels and resorts can be found right in San Juan and neighboring districts, and historic forts, colonial architecture, fine dining, museums, and much more, are all within easy walking distance in downtown San Juan. At the heart of the city is Old San Juan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where colonial architecture mixes with contemporary Puerto Rican culture. The old buildings are now home to many of the city’s attractions and tourist establishments.
