Arriving in San Juan late - what is there to do?

[SanKay]

I'm sure this has been discussed MANY times, but we need some tips on where to go and what to do in the short amount of time we will be in port. Our cruise ship arrives at 5:00p.m. and leaves around midnight. We love to walk and see the traditional/historic sights, as well as, the fun and unique sights.

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks!

Hi there! The Legends of PR Nighttime Walking tour tends to get some pretty good reviews. You can Google Legends of PR and find the website. I've never done this tour, however Old San Juan is a beautiful city and it's fun to walk around there at night. This and dinner at a local restaurant would make a great plan. There are lots of restaurant suggestions in this board.

 

 

Don't forget to watch sailaway from San Juan that night if you're awake. El Morro Fort is illuminated and it's an incredible view. Enjoy! :)

I am looking for the same info and can't find anything. Can you please come back and post when you come back from your cruise ( Mine is Jan 2011)

Had sent out a request to tourism office about our specific date ( Jan 3rd 2011). Here is the reply

The trolleys in Old San Juan run until about 7pm and the forts close at 6pm.

Maybe we will do the bio bay ?

We did the Legends of Puerto Rico Spirits of PR rum and food tasting last week, it started at 6 pm and lasted approximately 2 hrs. Our host was Debbie, she did a wonderful job we did 2 groups of 4 rum tastings, showed us how to make 2 rum cocktails, plus had some great local food, capped off with a flaming coconut flan! The cost was $80 pp, we were advised of the location of the restaurant via text message the day we arrived in port. Our group consisted of a total of 8 people which was a perfect size. Info can be

found at the same Legends of PR website referenced above. It was great fun!
