This is the place for pre-weekend happy hour that extends up through 11pm. Streets are brimming with people of all ages who just want to dance!

Be sure to get some alcapurrias... More

Old Covered Market "La placita", the MAPR art museum and gardens, la Laguna del Condado (take a spin in the pedal boats for a water view of the Condado/Miramar skylines), local shops and buildings, a little rundown but authentic PR. More

Just the other side of the highway from Condado - discover the local arts and culture district with local restaurants, bars, clubs in a non-touristy area. Museum of Art, Contemporary Art, Fine Arts Center, Symphony Hall, Conservatory of Music and several arts centers. Great bus service on Ponce de Leon is much faster than the sporadic bus lines that go... More
