Creator's Key Takeaways
This took us about 4 hours, 5 miles, and 10,000 steps.
Water here at Walgreens is less than $2. If you want to stock up before walking in the Caribbean heat, this is your moment.
This hill is steep, but the views are so worth it.
This route isn't the fastest way around San Juan. It's not the easiest, but if you want forts, food, local art, ocean views, and all the colorful charm of Old San Juan in one day, this is it.

If you're cruising into San Juan, Puerto Rico and wondering what to do — this is it. We spent 4 hours, walked 5 miles, hit 10,000 steps, climbed what felt like 400 hills 😅… and had the BEST day exploring Old San Juan completely on our own. Now listen — this is NOT the quickest or most efficient walking route. We jumped around a little because there were places we really wanted to see (and eat). You could absolutely shorten this route and still see the highlights. ⚠️ This walk is not recommended for anyone with joint issues. There are some VERY steep hills. But if you’re able to handle it — this is one of the most beautiful, completely FREE port days you can have. Also… I do NOT speak Spanish. Please be patient with my accent, y’all. 😂 Let’s go explore Old San Juan! #SanJuanPuertoRico #OldSanJuan #CruisePortGuide #CruiseVlog #CaribbeanCruise #PuertoRicoTravel #WalkingTour #CruiseTips #FreePortDay #TravelVlog
