Car rental at
San Juan Airport (Puerto Rico)

San Juan is one of the oldest European built cities in North America. Once an important port town of the Spanish empire, the city is today replete with old fortifications. Other notable sights include the blue stone paved walkways and buildings dating back 400 years. A rental car enables visitors to visit the beaches and casinos, as well as picturesque spots such as the Luis Munoz Park, famous for its shady trees and ornamental flower beds. Renting a car is a great idea if you are planning to visit the museums. These museums include the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture and Museo del Indio for showcasing ancient cultural artifacts from the region and a museum dedicated to musician Pablo Casals. The city is also famous for chapels built during Spanish rule. The Iglesia de San José reflects period Spanish architecture. The city cathedral, ranked among the oldest cathedrals in the Americas, holds the remains of Ponce de Leon. To spend an evening exploring the lively cultural scene, you can drive down to the Tapia Theatre or the Centre for Fine Arts to watch musical or theatrical performances. Hiring a car with extras and unlimited miles will make the exploration of the city that much easier.
