Venture Beyond the Postcard
San Juan is more than a photo stop! Many visitors stick to the main squares, but a few extra blocks can lead to murals, hidden cafés, and conversations with locals that bring Puerto Rico's story to life.
Walk east from Plaza Colón and you'll discover El Bastión, a cultural center hosting community events. Head toward Calle Tetuán for emerging art galleries and quiet corners full of local flavor. Ask your guide or shop owner where they like to eat—you might find yourself in a tiny lechón spot or a rooftop bar with ocean views.
