Puerto Rico: Cities and Regions

San Juan Soak up rays on the wide Isla Verde beach, splurge at Condado boutiques, and saunter up and down the cobblestone streets of historic Old San Juan. See our San Juan Travel Guide

Fajardo The northeast coast of Puerto Rico is home to El Yunque rainforest and Puerto Rico’s biggest resorts and best spas.

Ponce The territory’s second-largest city, on the southern coast, gives visitors the historical atmosphere of San Juan, but without the tourist traffic. Don’t miss the Ponce Firehouse museum and the Fountain of the Lions, made for the 1939 World’s Fair in New York.

Vieques Grab a folding chair and a beer, and lay claim to your own expanse of beach on this ultra-laid-back island, six miles off the coast of the mainland.

Porta Del Sol This collection of fishing towns, along the west coast from Aguadilla to Cabo Rojo, are Puerto Rico’s go-to destinations for surfing, seafood, and sangria.
