Puerto Rico
San Juan
500 years of forts, blue cobblestones, and a glowing bay.
A great embarkation city, Old San Juan's forts, colour, food, and a bioluminescent bay.
San Juan is one of the Caribbean's finest turnaround cities, and it rewards arriving a day early. Old San Juan is a walkable jewel box of blue-cobbled streets and pastel facades, anchored by the vast Spanish forts of El Morro and San Cristóbal over the Atlantic. The food and bar scene is serious, and a bioluminescent bay glows offshore.
