Trolley and both forts

[swom]

Will the trolley take you up to both forts in San Juan?

Thanks!

Yes, the El Morro route will go by both forts.

How often the trolley runs? Thank you!

Hard to say- they are not on a schedule, but run continuously. But depending on traffic and such, could be every 15 mins to 45 mins or more.

Are they Air Conditioned?

There are both open-air and closed (I assume with AC) trolleys. I believe the one that goes to the forts is open-air.

If only visiting one fort, which one would you choose?

For me, that's a tough question to answer since I like both. Each has its own charm. When approaching El Morro on a weekend, there are families flying kites on the huge expanse of grass leading up to the fort. San Cristobal's charms are found directly in and around the fort with beautiful scenery. Check out nps dot gov for information on both forts and park ranger tour times. That may help with your decision.

Our last trip we did both forts without using the trolley. We went to breakfast and did one fort, walked around the town and shopped a bit, had lunch, walked around some more, stopped at the frozen yogurt place next to the smaller fort and then went to the fort before heading back to the ship. We even went to a grocery store (super cheap coffee and soda)!

 

While the walking can get a bit strenuous with the hills, we were able to take it slow and really enjoyed ourselves - it's not that big of an area.

I would like to take the trolley to the fort up the hill and then walk back down the hill back to the ship through old St. Juan.

Whcih fort is that?

I went to El Morro fort in September and absolutely enjoyed myself. As I was coming down the hill, I had just missed the trolley and my wait was about 30 minutes.
