Old San Juan is the oldest city of the United States, celebrating its 500-year-old beginnings, and being recognized as an UNESCO World Heritage Site. Spanish colonial architecture surrounds the “Walled City”. Its colors and cobblestone streets remind you of the cultural history in every corner. Great food, music and art is also part of the Old San Juan soul, now more vibrant than ever, with a modern twist and accommodations known and recognized by the world travelers and connoisseurs. Renown local and international artist, perform and present their art here and in the shaded by mature trees plazas all around, or close by at the Newly built Convention Center and Downtown known as “El Distrito” for big concerts and party-like fun with the newest in technology. The Escambrón beach, Marina, Lagoon and Condado area are a 5-minute scooter or drive away. 10 minutes from the biggest Shopping Center in the Caribbean and 15 minutes from International Airport and Financial district.

A morning walk on the northern side Old San Juan-Mar Caribe trails and around the 16th century Old Fortress, “El Morro”, and La Perla will be great for your soul, and for sure will give you the fresh air you’ll need to start your day. Or if you prefer the south side, the Bay area with the ports, cruises, the freshly baked goods, and brewed coffee, definitely another way to boost your spirits every day. A couple of blocks away; the Farmers Market, art galleries, jewelries, little shops, boutiques and big brands-name and fashion designers. Watch the sunsets, eat, dance, or get immersed in the multicultural universe of the city, a blend of people from the Globe.
