San Juan Vacations and Tourism

Named after Saint John the Baptist by the Spanish colonists who founded the city in 1521, San Juan is Puerto Rico's oldest and largest city. This bustling capital, an important seaport, has become a popular tourist destination in recent years thanks to its close proximity to the mainland United States (there are direct flights out of numerous U.S. cities on the eastern coast), beautiful beaches, world-class golf courses, fine dining and hotel options, upscale boutiques, and sultry nightlife. Visitors flock to this seductive capital for its harmonious blend of pristine beaches, convenient, modern amenities and quaint, colonial charm. Wander through Old San Juan for a glimpse of the historical roots and catch jazz notes floating through the evening air after a relaxing day at the beach. All-inclusive package tours and cruises are popular options for this Caribbean Island hotspot, and some people find that a perfect beach vacation doesn't even require leaving the capital.
