Where is the best place to visit in Puerto Rico? |
Travel Info Planning a trip this summer. Best place for a young couple in their 20's to have a good time. Travel Tips If you get chance try to rent a car, that way you can see the sights on your terms and not on a set time frame with a group tour. Most people will know English, especially in the tourist areas, but trying your hand at speaking Spanish looks good. If you do rent a car just bear in mind that driving is a little crazy, just keep your eyes on all your mirrors and you'll be fine. Places to Stay. Really depends on your budget, if you want to take a chance, try priceline.com (you can specify the star of the hotel and make a bid on the nightly rate). Or check out expedia or travelocity. There are some great hotels overlooking the beach in the Condado area. Check out tripadvisor.com and search pierto rico. Gives a list of hotels and b&b's Places to see. Old San Juan - easily spend a few hours walking around here. It's a little hilly so maybe jump on the free trolley bus to El Morro (the fort) and work your way back down through the city. Plenty of places to eat and drink for all budgets. Try Breakfast at La Bombonera (one of the oldest establishments in the city) El Yunque (rainforest) plus spend the afternoon at Luquillo Beach Check out one of the grand hotels on a weekend evening and try your hand (feet) at some latin dancing. Ponce on the South coast for more Puerto Rican architecture Arecibo Observatory. The James Bond movie Golden Eye and also the Jodie Foster movie Contact were filmed there. There is also this: Las Cabezas de San Juan Nature Reserve (Tel:787-722-5882). I have not been, but I would like to (it sounds a cool place to visit). You can have an escorted tour through the reserve on an electric trolley, but you have to book in advance. There is plenty to do here. You might even want to consider a side trip to Vieques or Culebra (as I've heard the beaches are amazing) Try the local food stands and just enjoy everything that the island has to offer. Food wise, everything you can imagine. In condado area for seafood try Miro's (was there yesterday and it was superb). In Old San Juan try The Parrot Club for Caribbean style or Tantra's for Indian cuisine Also check the online guides frommers.com, roughguide.com and http://visit-the-coqui.com Source(s): http://www.visit-the-coqui.com http://www.frommers.com http://www.roughguide.com Other Travel Tips Explore this site, there's loads of information that will help http://welcome.topuertorico.org/index.sh... Palmas del Mar in Humaco, P.R., nice It all depends on what You Like to Do.. check these sites. www.gotopuertorico.com www.welcometopuertorico.org www.puertoricoWOW.com www.WEPA.com The best sites to see are El Morro (the old fort in SAn Juan), El Yunque Rain Forest, Camuy Caves, Biolumenesent Bay(there is one called La Parguera near Ponce & one in Vieques- they glow in the dark) Arecibo Observatory(giant radio telescope), there are also some great indian parks, beautiful mountain ranges & beautiful beaches. Also walk the colorful streets of old San Juan. There is plenty of shopping like Plazas de Americas. & Plenty of restaraunts & nightlife in San Juan. Check out these sites for more. Also I suggest renting a car b/c you can see everything the island has to offer & the island is only 100 miles long so nothing is too far. If you dont want to stay in San Juan, the expensive bus city. I would suggest Dorado embassy suites. Its a half hour away & it is beautiful & less than $200 for a suite w/ balcony. Enjoy!! Weather is great, people are nice & food is delicious! www.gotopuertorico.com http://www.embassysuites.com/en/es/hotel... http://www.frommers.com/destinations/pue... |
