What To Do In San Juan, Puerto Rico?

[ChicosWife]

One fort is maybe 3 blocks from port. (Uphill by my 5 year old did it easily.). The other fort is a good mile away. We enjoyed the walk through town to get there and took a taxi back.)

Any other things to see/do on the walk there?

Easiest way to el morro, through town or along the sea wall??

-Someone mentioned the Umbrella Street; I believe the umbrellas are no longer there.
-if you want a taxi, there’s a queue right outside the cruise terminal. Depending on how many ships are in port, traffic can be heavy & the narrow streets very crowded.
-Our favorite place for lunch-for authentic Mofongo-is the restaurant in the historic boutique hotel El Convento. Lovely quiet covered al fresco courtyard. Directly across the street from the Basilica San Juan Bautista which is worth seeing; we caught noon Mass there last time.

Are you only making a Port stop or does your cruise start and stop in San Juan. Because if you are starting and stopping you will not dock downtown, but at the Panamerican Pier and it's a 10 min cab ride to town.

Easiest? Depends a bit on your definition of easy. Through town isn't bad but remember that's it's uphill all the way. Allow the sea wall is a bit longer and more gradual. How about going up one way and down the other?
