San Juan, Puerto Rico

Capilla del Santo Cristo

A secluded monument, the Capilla del Santo Cristo is a tiny chapel nestled amongst the cobblestones of Old San Juan. In 1753, the chapel was built on top of the walls that protected San Juan, and its structural integrity has endured. Legend has it that the chapel can inspire similar miracles, and thousands of visitors flock to test its powers each year. 

Castillo San Cristobal

Drenched in fervent sunshine and the storied history of Puerto Rico, Castillo San Cristobal serves as the land entrance to Old San Juan. Explore one of the first sites of the Spanish-American War, where soldiers paced the grounds over two hundred years ago. With tours offered in many languages, all can discover the richened tales of Puerto Rico’s beginnings.

Paseo de la Princesa

Originially built in 1853, Paseo de la Princesa is a splendorous site located in Old San Juan. The promenade inspires incredible strolls amongst its tree-lined path (and is a premier spot for people-watching). With food vendors offering live music on certain evenings, Paseo de la Princesa is a vibrant stretch of land that serves as the contrast between the Old San Juan and San Juan Bay, which border on either side.
