San Juan in Puerto Rico "makes a perfect getaway"
Wednesday, May 27, 2009Imaginative travellers may be interested in a trip to Puerto Rico's San Juan for a vibrant coastal break.
A historic town, San Juan is located in the Northern Coastal Plains and is an ideal place for travellers to stay following its restoration.
Writing for concierge.com, Amy Engler describes San Juan as "small and exquisitely formed, restored to its original glory," going on to add that it is a "perfect getaway".
The old town boasts ramparts and walkways at Fort San Felipe del Morro, which offer stunning views of the town and the Caribbean - separated from the modern city by a limestone islet - offering travellers a peaceful outlet.
Meanwhile, its cultural quarters see vibrant artistic and creative activity, where visitors can sit back and absorb the local idiosyncrasies.
Alternatively, travellers can enjoy the new restaurants and museums, peruse the city's architecture in the restored town, or visit its plazas, parks and forts.
San Juan is one of the largest natural harbours in the Caribbean and the second-oldest European-founded city in the Americas.
