Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, is a classic Spanish walled city which is easily walkable and which includes a quintessential Spanish fort, Castillo de San Filipe del Morro (El Morro). The Old Town lies close to the pier area, where numerous cruise ships anchor during the cruising season. A walking tour of the area should include, at least, the following sights: El Morro, Paseo de la Princesa, a shaded walk beside a former prison, La Fortaleza, the residence of the Puerto Rican governor, and Casa Blanca, a home built for Ponce de Leon by his son-in-law (de Leon never actually lived here). There are also several churches, some museums, and numerous shops and restaurants that can be visited along the way. Pick up a map at the Tourist Information Office, near the cruise ship dock.
