Getting There

Car

From the international airport take route 26 west. At the bridge connecting with Old San Juan, follow Luis Muoz Rivera Avenue to Fort San Cristbal, just past the Puerto Rico Capitol building. This trip is 10 miles and 20 minutes long.

Public Transportation

If arriving on a cruise ship, most piers are withing walking distance (10-15 minutes). Just walk up the hill, past the Plaza Colon. The Panamerican pier is 3 miles away, and taxis are available.

Getting Around

Since the old city covers only 3 square miles and parking is limited, walking is often a good idea. Fort San Cristbal has a small parking lot. Fort San Felipe del Morro does not have parking facilities and is a 1/4 mile walk from the street.
