PANORAMIC SAN JUAN CITY EXPRESS
See the highlights of Puerto Rico’s capital on this approximately two-and-a-half-hour bus tour. As you travel, hear stories from your guide about the landmarks you pass, including the historic El Morro fortress and the beachfront park known as ‘The Window to the Sea’.
Discover the best of both Old and New San Juan during this approximately two-and-a-half-hour excursion. The outing begins with a short meeting at the port before boarding a bus and enjoying a scenic drive of about 25 minutes to the historic centre. Here, you’ll see the Capitol Building and the famous Paseo de los Presidentes (aka The Walkway of the Presidents), home to multiple statues of US presidents who have visited Puerto Rico since 1898.
An approximately 20-minute drive through New San Juan follows, featuring views of the luxurious oceanfront resorts of Isla Verde and Condado. The latter is home to La Ventana al Mar (The Window to the Sea), a public park flanked by two famous hotels and the Atlantic Ocean. Spend approximately 30 minutes here before reboarding the bus and continuing for around 25 minutes into Old San Juan.
Stop at Plaza del Quinto Centenario (Square of the Fifth Centenary) for about 20 minutes. This square was created in 1992 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s first voyage to the Americas. Admire the granite and clay totem pole at its centre and the views across to the El Morro fortress and the water below.
Continue with a short drive through Old San Juan, followed by a brief stop to allow guests who want to carry on sightseeing or shopping on their own to disembark. Guests who wish to do this can then independently return to the port later (in good time for their ship’s departure), while a short transfer will take those remaining onboard the bus back to the port.
Important Information: Please note: Guests must be at least 4 years old to participate. Guests are recommended to wear comfortable walking shoes. Sunglasses are also highly recommended
