San Juan
San Juan, the capital and most populous municipality of Puerto Rico, serves as a premier destination for frequent-flyer hotel travelers. Founded in 1521, it is the second oldest European-established capital in the Americas and the oldest under U.S. sovereignty. The historic district features UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including Fort San Felipe del Morro and La Fortaleza. As the island's primary seaport and a major financial and cultural hub, the metropolitan area supports approximately 76% of Puerto Rico's population. Its rich history, combined with modern amenities and significant sports infrastructure, makes it an ideal base for exploring the region.
