San Juan travel safety advice
San Juan is a city. Just use common sense when going around. The touristic areas, like the Old City, Condado and Isla Verde tend to be very safe. However, an area called La Perla, which is nestled below the upper part of Old San Juan and the Atlantic, has a nasty reputation, especially after dark. (See Old San Juan)
Use caution when riding a bicycle around the city. Because the city has become so popular, traffic has increased and the roads are more crowded. They can be windy and often unpaved. Be sure to pay attention to the roadway on which you are riding and the traffic.
Pedestrians need to use similar caution in Old San Juan. While traffic usually is slower, the streets are narrow, and sidewalks very narrow, sometimes crowded, with occasional trip hazards.
Brothels were shut down in the not too distant past, so those once in their employ have moved to the waiting in front of the hotels. They usually won't harass you, however, if you don't instigate conversation.
