Excursion Discovering san juan (tour & airport transfer) tour at San Juan

Enjoy the scenery as you drive through one of the most beautiful old cities in the New World with a short visit to Fort San Cristobal and additional time to explore the city on own before you return home.

Fort San Cristobal

Your first stop is for a short visit to Fort San Cristobal, a main stay of the San Juan fortification system, from which the Spanish successfully defended their city from British and Dutch attacks as well as frequent assaults from various and sundry pirates. Search out the dungeon where there are centuries old graffiti

representing images of Spanish galleons drawn on the walls.  

Old San Juan

As you continue your drive through the old city, you'll see the beautiful 17 th-century Spanish ironwork on the restored homes and note the blue -black glazed cobblestones that used to surface the narrow streets of the Old City.  

In addition, armed with our map of Old San Juan, you have time to explore some of the many interesting shops, boutiques and art galleries that have made this historic area their home. Following your free time,

re-join your coach for the drive to the airport, during which time you will drive through the newer parts of San Juan.
