旅行者建议
出行
Bus is near the apt if you want to visit the Old San Juan
The apt is centrally located, near Ciudadela (a residential complex) where you can find Planet Fitness and Pueblo Supermarket. Also the Museo de Arte de PR is like 8mins. Great collection of local and traditional artist can be found. Plus there are tons of restaurants nearby.
出行
If you want to go to the beach...
El Condado offers a great place near the Condado Plaza Hotel. Super cozy beach for tourists and locals to spend their day. Right in front you find La Laguna (the Lake) where you can practice Kayak and Paddleboarding...great experience. The local Bus T21 will take you right in front of the beach, and returning is on the sidewalk in front of the Laguna. Very convenient.
省钱小贴士
Local transportation or Uber
Either way is cheap and will let you get around the area. To visit some great tourist destinations maybe renting a car is the best option, for example if you want to visit El Yunque in Luquillo.
实用短语
We are very friendly
Most people smile at you for no reason. Saying Gracias (thank you) and Por favor (please) will open doors for you. Also, Amigo (friend) to call the waiter will catch their attention.
