dine, see & do

Barrachina Restaurant

They say this restaurant is where the pina colada was invented. Juliette has sampled (a few!) and you can even order them to-go and then sip and stroll around old San Juan.

Cocina Abierta Restaurant

Romantic and quiet. John & Juliette stumbled upon this by accident, it is a short block away from San Juan Marriott.

Club Brava

Club Brava in Isla Verde is considered the only legit club in Puerto Rico.

JungleBird Bar

Eter Rooftop & Lounge

Camino El Jibarito

Marmalade Restaurant & Bar

La Plaza del Mercado de Santurce

Full of people with good vibes, bars selling liquor, tourists, food to enjoy on the street and of course music to dance wherever you want.

Forts of El Morro and San Cristóbal

The sister forts are connected by Calle Norzagaray, and although you can go from one fort to the other by taking a trolley, a walk along Norzagaray, by the pastel-colored houses of La Perla is a rewarding way to go.

Excursion: Toro Verde Adventure Park

Located about an hour and 30 minutes from San Juan and hidden between rolling mountains covered in dense forest. The area boasts some of the most breathtaking mountain views on the Island, which you’ll see beneath you as you go ziplining over them!

Excursion: BioBay Kayak Tour

Bioluminescence is one of planet Earth’s best-kept secrets. Tiny organisms make the water glow at night. Take a kayak tour where glowing trails will swirl and flow with the water as you paddle.
