Overview
Visitors booking cheap flights to Puerto Rico are in for a cultural awakening. San Juan is one of the oldest cities in the Americas and is one of the most diverse cities in Puerto Rico. San Juan flights promise cobblestone streets and charming buildings (some date back as far as the 16th century), which line the central part of Old San Juan. Just on the other side of Old San Juan is a more modern section of the city. Flanked by expressways and beach-front resorts, the downtown San Juan district has built itself up quite a bit, so it’s no wonder that people book flights to San Juan each year to one of the most travelled-to resort areas in the Americas.
Travellers booking flights to San Juan get the best of both worlds – on the one hand, a city rich in history and devout to its ancestry. On the other hand, San Juan is a modern city bustling with diversity and distinction.

San Juan Attractions and Activities
1. Relax on the Beach at Condado
San Juan is a capital city as much as a Caribbean resort town, and El Condado is one of the world's greatest city beaches. Sunbathe on the sand or join local activities like paddle-boarding, sea kayaking, or jet ski tours of the harbour.
2. Charter a Sailing Boat
If you've always wanted to be captain of your own vessel, now's your chance. Hiring a boat and a crew is cheap and easy and companies like Sailing Dreams Yacht Charters will be happy to take you out onto the pure blue waters of the Caribbean.
3. Take a Food Tour
Puerto Rican food mixes Taino (indigenous), Spanish, African, and European influences, not to mention American favourites like burgers and hot dogs. The only way to savour all of the best restaurants in town is by booking a place on the Flavours of San Juan Food and Culture Tour.
4. Tour the City's Historic Buildings
Regularly attacked by the enemies of Spain, San Juan built a massive array of forts and walls during the 16th century, and it's great fun to walk along the parapets, imagining life in the Spanish city. Visit the impressive Castillo de San Cristóbal, see the Palacio de Santa Catalina (governor's mansion) and the beautiful Cathedral of San Juan Bautista, built in 1520.
5. Visit the Bacardi Rum Factory
The delicious and iconic rum drink was first created in Cuba, but its world HQ is now in San Juan. Anyone who has ever clubbed Coke with Bacardi, should find time to trip the "cathedral of rum", and sample some expertly mixed mojitos in the process.
