First time in San Juan-Half day-Must dos?

[jlas000]

My wife and I (both mid-20s) will be in San Juan for half a day before our cruise. We are arriving around 1 on Friday and our cruise leaves Saturday. We will be staying in the Condado section of San Juan and would like suggestions on must dos for activities and eating.

 

Thanks!

San Juan has so much to offer! Condado section is very nice. Depending on what you like, it has great beaches: Condado beach, La Concha Hotel beach, and if you like Paddleboarding or kayaking, across from Playita del Condado Beach, you can do this water sports in The Condado Lagoon, it is really fun. Regarding food, the restaurants are great! Depending of what you like. Around Condado you can walk to many; for Latin Asian food, Budatai, for casual outdoor pizza and Italian food, di Parma. One of the best in P.R., Pikayo, more expensive, but great. If you want to experience great local food head in a taxi(5min) to Santaella, and across the street you enter La a Plaza del Mercado, happening bar hopping, music, and great restaurants. You must visit Old San Juan, which is walking distance from port, it is an amazing place, lots of rest too. Too many places, not much time, so you will want to return. Any other tip, let me know, I live in San Juan.
