San Juan
Visiting the capital city of San Juan is a must do event no matter what you want to see. There are some incredible historic old buildings mingled in with the newer hotels and shops. Convents, monasteries and churches have been lovingly restored and cared for, ensuring they are as perfect as the day they were built.
The shopping in the capital is modern and chic, with many people traveling there to enjoy it. As well as the vibrant night life at is on offer throughout the city. A day of sightseeing around the capital will give you some insight into how the locals live and party.
The Mountains
Moving on from the city there is plenty to see and do inland too. The people in Puerto Rico are very friendly and will welcome you with open arms, as you travel around the island, much more relaxed than in the city.
The mountain areas are stunning - a drive along the mountain roads reveals a very different side to the island - and if you visit to El Yunque rainforest you'll see the waterfalls cascading through the lush forests, making it hard to believe that you are only a short drive away from the golden beaches.
Gaming
Alongside all of the natural beauty that Puerto Rico has to offer, it is also one of the few places that gambling is legal in America.
Although the casinos are well regulated and often only seen in the hotels they are very popular. Often people will travel to Puerto Rico to spend a weekend gambling and having fun. A vast majority of the island is very laid back with no strict rules; however, the casinos are very up market.
Although many people choose to spend their entire vacations in their resort hotels, it is generally much more rewarding to get out and experience some of the real Puerto Rican charm. The food, culture and history is fascinating, and exploring the island is simple with easy and affordable car hire, while gaming legislation means you can enjoy the casinos.
