In this video I'm sharing what we got up to on our port stop in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico and the top attractions and activities we were able to see on our own walking through the city. Everything we did was walkable from the ship. You can really see a lot of the area in a short amount of time, especially if you plan out your route in advance. Be sure to save these attractions for your own visit!
