Best known for its cobbled colonial streets and old forts, Puerto Rico’s capital city has transformed into a major metropolis since Juan Ponce de León first landed here in 1508. The second-oldest European settlement in the Americas packs plenty of historical and cultural appeal and doubles as the gateway to the rest of this US territory in the Caribbean. Well over 3 million visitors come to Puerto Rico each year for sandy beaches, mangrove forests, colorful coral reefs, and the only tropical rain forest in the US.
