Who's been to San Juan?
I'll be taking a cruise out of San Juan later this year and we'll have a night there before the ship leaves. What are some things to see, places to go, etc?

From what I saw (or rather didn't see) it was very sound advice. During the day, El Morro Castle, Bacardi Rum Factory, some jewelry stores, however the best jewelry buying is in St. Thomas. |

 Also go to Luquillo Beach, it's been about 15 years but it was pretty cool, and Lidia makes the best Margarittas on the beech. |

We were there about 10 years ago for a southern Caribbean cruise. Stayed one night and did the Bacardi factory tour. I swore I'd never go back. What a shithole.

[QUOTE=Allan;112579]Been there a few times, also on boat cruises.

The Bacardi Factory was a very good and interesting stop. I note you said NIGHT. The old part of the city is very interesting but be careful there if at night be with a TRUSTED local or 2. Hire them as a guide and they will get you around quite well. Have fun

Go to old town. Stay away from La Pearla. Even the cops are afraid to go there.
