Shopping in SJ

[suevp]

Does anyone know if there is public transportation from the pier area in OSJ to the outlet malls?

Where are the outlet malls?

 

I know there is a trolly that runs round OSJ - and they have a good bus system - might have to google the schedule.

Here are two outlet places in San Juan - has anyone been to either of them, and can you get to them by public transportation?

 

Prime Outlets at Puerto Rico -- This outlet shopping center, located about 25 minutes west of San Juan, offers over 50 discount retailers. Among them are Tommy Hilfiger, The Children's Place Outlet, Banana Republic Factory Store, Liz Claiborne, Polo Ralph Lauren, the Gap, IZOD, Bass, Calvin Klein, and Ecko Unltd. The complex also has a food court and several full-service restaurants.

We went to the second outlet you listed, although I believe it is now called Route 66 mall. I wasn't really paying attention about the public transportation, sorry. We stopped there on the way back from visiting the El Yunque rainforest, we had rented a car for the day.

How was the rainforest? We are in SJ for a couple of days before we cruise and are looking for a few ideas....

Most of the stores that you mention have locations in Old San Juan that are walkable.

We loved it!!

We didnt do the full trail to the waterfall because I was getting sick, so I was out of breath pretty quickly, but we still had fun.
