San Juan/Puerta de Tierra Attractions & Activities - The Best Holiday Destinations for 2020
Looking at Puerta de Tierra and El Condado from Old San Juan.
Located right in between the two most important parts of San Juan to travelers, Old San Juan and Condado, Puerta de Tierra is both convenient and inconvenient as a place to call home base. Puerta de Tierra itself is a middle-class to lower-class residential neighborhood, dotted with some businesses, municipal buildings, and empty museums. However, the Puerta de Tierra beachfront has two hotels, a nice beach, and a decent park that provides a welcome urban respite for both locals and hotel tourists.
While Puerta de Tierra is not a slum nor a generally rough neighborhood, it is not a tourist destination, and you should exercise some common sense and awareness when traveling through the area. If you can do this, then you should have no problems and will have a much better look at life as lived by San Juan locals, and may see many things most tourists never see while visiting the city.
