Why you'll love it

San Juan is Puerto Rico's capital, where a colourful colonial old town meets city beaches and a lively food scene. It scores 9 out of 10 for beaches, and 7 for food, nightlife, romance, families and safety, so it's an easy, well-rounded Caribbean break.

The best time to visit San Juan is December to April, the dry season, with sunny days and lower humidity. June to November is hurricane season.

Wander the blue cobblestone streets of Old San Juan, and explore the forts of El Morro and San Cristóbal. Condado and Isla Verde have the city's best beaches. Try mofongo, and head to La Placita de Santurce in the evening. El Yunque rainforest is about an hour away, and bioluminescent bays glow at night in Fajardo and on Vieques.

San Juan suits couples, families and food lovers.
