Question
Do I need a passport to travel to Puerto Rico?

What currency is used?
Answer
The U.S. Dollar (USD), so no need to exchange money.
Question
What language is spoken?

Spanish is the primary language, but English is widely spoken—especially in tourist areas.
Question
Is it safe?
Answer
Yes—just use common sense like you would anywhere else. Stay aware of your surroundings, especially at night.

Not necessarily. If you’re staying in San Juan, Uber works great. If you want to explore (like El Yunque or beyond), renting a car is helpful. Rental cars are great for exploring the island, but be ready for more aggressive driving styles.
