Beginning with Old San Juan, the most popular historic area, it holds the Cathedral of San Juan Bautista, where lies the tombstone of the founder, Juan Ponce de Leon. Among some of the other most notable sites located here are the city’s former defensive forts, Fort San Felipe del Morro and Fort San Cristóbal. The 16th-century El Palacio de Santa Catalina, also known as La Fortaleza, was built to protect the harbor of San Juan and now serves as the executive mansion.
East of Old San Juan lies a wealthy tourist community, formally known as Condado. While exploring Condado, you will come across some of the most luxurious homes, along with enormous sky-rise condominiums, a large variety of fine dining restaurants, and phenomenal lodging options, particularly on Ashford Avenue.
Ocean Park is just as beautiful and affluent, encompassing an upscale community residing on a wide breathtaking beachfront.
More tourists visit San Juan each year than any other spot in the Caribbean, mainly due to its tropical climate and natural beauty. Summer continues year-round in San Juan. The coolest temperature ever recorded was 60 degrees back in 1957. You couldn’t ask for more perfect weather!
Although the beaches and historical sites are worth every moment, continue your adventures outdoors, enjoying San Juan’s gorgeous weather at the Hiram Bithorn Stadium. It is home to the Santurce Crabbers, the main professional baseball team in the area, which happens to carry an admirable record of winning seventeen national titles. While in Santurce, check out the Museum of Contemporary Art of Puerto Rico, displaying beautiful canvas of Latin and Caribbean-type art.
San Juan happens to have one of the largest selections of five-star luxury hotels. Lavish spa treatments, exceptional customer service, and first-class amenities all come together to create long-lasting memories for you and your guests. Conrad San Juan Condado Plaza, El San Juan Hotel and Casino, Ritz Carlton San Juan Casino Spa, San Juan Water and Beach Club Hotel, and Horned Dorset Primavera are the top-rated resorts on the island. Let a Stratos Jets agent arrange your charter flight plans to and from San Juan, Puerto Rico and receive exclusive service.
