In case you would like to drag yourself away from the beach, here are some suggestions for how to see San Juan.
If You Have 1 Day--To make the most of a short stay, head straight for Old San Juan for an afternoon of sightseeing and shopping. Definitely schedule a visit to El Morro Fortress. Try to spend 2 hours at Condado Beach. Enjoy a Puerto Rican dinner at a local restaurant, listen to some salsa music, and enjoy a rum punch before retiring for the night.
If You Have 2 Days--On your first day, spend the morning shopping and sightseeing in Old San Juan. Schedule visits to El Morro and San Juan Cathedral and then relax on Condado Beach for the rest of the day. Enjoy a Puerto Rican dinner and some local music before retiring.
On your second day, spend the morning exploring El Yunque rainforest, a lush 28,000-acre (11,200 hectare) site east of San Juan. Schedule 2 or 3 hours at nearby Luquillo Beach, the finest beach in Puerto Rico. Buy lunch from an open-air kiosk. Return to San Juan for the evening and attend either a folk-culture show (if available) or a Las Vegas-style revue. Visit the casinos for some action before retiring.
