Old San Juan
Old San Juan is a most in the area. Make a day out of it. Visit the San Cristobal and El Morro Forts in the morning and explore the city and its many plazas, museums, churches, and artisan shops. Brunch at St. Germain or Mercado La Carreta are wonderful and if you like chocolate and martinis then have a Chocolate Martini at Cortes Choco-Bar.
