Paseo de la Princesa

The Paseo de la Princesa is, without a doubt, one of the most magical places in Old San Juan. From the moment you start walking among the trees and colonial style lanterns, you feel like you're traveling back in time. The ocean breeze, the sound of the fountain, and the view of the bay create a unique experience...perfect for a stroll with family, your partner, or simply to disconnect from the noise of the world. Along the path, you'll find local artisans, live music, and if you're lucky, even a cultural performance. All of this set against the majestic backdrop of El Morro and the city’s protective walls. It’s safe, clean, and has a special vibe you can only feel in Puerto Rico. Every time I go, I'm reminded why this piece of history remains one of my favorite spots. Highly recommended for both tourists and locals!

Good place to start your walking tour of old San Juan. Park in the lot nearby and walk all the way to the “Puerta de San Juan” or take the scenic walking path along the water if it’s open. Every time I’m in PR I come to old San Juan and do the same walking lap. It never gets old. Plenty of vendors of food, drinks and souvenirs all over the place.

Beautiful place to visit anytime of the year but it’s especially beautiful during Christmas & 3 Kings Day season. There’s also plenty of parking down near the shore. I’d recommend taking the opportunity to also walk around Old San Juan during this time since there’s also many decorated areas around this location including the Placitas (Plazas) & Governor mansion

Want to work out some of the calories you are taking and then take a stroll at the Princess Pathway. Safe clean and beautiful scenery 👌

Pleasant historical pathway. Occasional artisans have interesting work. Beautiful and shaded path, with a beautiful fountain and great sunsets. This leads to the outstanding pathway along the ancient city walls. It is more rewarding when you learn the history of the place.

Great historic and cultural walk along the cobblestones near El Morro. Beautiful lightning and site all the way around, very relaxing.

The day my family went there were fantastic street vendors selling hand crafted goods for very reasonable prices! I bought a crochet stingray and my brother bought a crochet chicken! My favorite booth. 18$ each, which felt very reasonable for crochet pieces. Very friendly, kind and hard working people. The woman I bought from was so patient even though my card was giving me trouble. I love supporting local artisans wherever I travel. The street itself and the statue were beautiful, such amazing architecture. We loved going at dusk, we just got done with dinner and enjoyed a nice stroll.

Wry nice walk leading up to the ocean. Vendors line the path Friday through Sunday, offering typical tourist gifts and unusual ones too, plus food. Nice restaurant halfway down. Walk to the end and you will see a beautiful, colorfully lit fountain, then the ocean. Plenty of trees and benches along the way. Avoid the public restrooms if possible. Trust me.
