- Old San Juan (Spanish: Viejo San Juan) is a historic district located at the "northwest triangle" of the islet of San Juan. Its area roughly correlates to the Ballajá, Catedral, Marina, Mercado, San Cristóbal, and San Francisco sub-barrios (sub-districts) of barrio San Juan Antiguo in the municipality of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Old San Juan is the oldest settlement within Puerto Rico and the historic colonial district of the city of San Juan. This historic district is a National Historic Landmark District and is listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places as the Old San Juan Historic District. Several historical buildings and structures, particularly La Fortaleza, the city walls, and El Morro and San Cristóbal castles, have been inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage Site list since 1983. Historically the mixed use commercial and residential real estate in the main streets like Cristo Street, Fortaleza Street (north) from Tanca Street to the Governor’s Mansion is the most valuable in the area and it has kept its value abd increased steadily through several years despite the past economic turmoils.

Puerto Rico looks so Clean
Yes it is! Old San Juan is very plesant to walk around.
Puerto Rico undisputedly is the most modern country in the Caribbean. I was amazed to see how well developed its 78 Cities were. I had a magnificent experience, and a great time vacationing there.
Glad you enjoyed your time in Puerto Rico! :-)
Thank you glad you enjoyed. The best island on the Caribbean 🇵🇷

Beautiful!
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this video. I love Puerto rico. My home.
Glad you enjoyed it =) Thanks for the feedback.
Beautiful video. At 20:08, that house with yellow door is the narrowest home in Puerto Rico . You can stretch you arms and be able to touch both walls. Before Pandemic,the plans were to turn it into Air B &B.
Wow.. really? Thank for the feedback! It’s always great to hear from the locals :-)
Yes and if you look over the veranda that building down there used to be a jail. A little further down in front of the park there used to be a guest house with a gay club upstairs (La Vista). Cars all over the place in those days. Very colorful place at the time. So much has changed.
Never knew that. Thanks.
Ojalá los Puertoriqueños no dejen caer el legado que dejó España,porque es su cultura y su patrimonio artístico ...
Thank you for the feedback!
@@MooMooAway your welcome
Nosotros no vivimos del legado ni del patrimonio..nada de eso me da de comer ni me paga los viles ni me da ningún veneficio..Viva el Estado 51 🇺🇸🇵🇷💪
¡Jamas!
@@uli6536 ¡Que ignorante! Vaya y visite a San Antonio, Texas. O a San Agustin, Florida. O cualquiera de las grandes ciudades y estados del sur y suroeste de EEUU, antes de hablar excreta.
Así hubiera sido la habana cuba libre de todo mal, bendiciones hermanos boricuas
Thanks for the feedback :-)
Es una bellesa Todo bonito y Linpiesito estoy my orgulloso de nuestro Viejo San Juan
Thanks for the feedback :-)
Thanks for this video i enjoyed every minute of it ❤️❤️ so beautiful
Glad you enjoyed it :-) Thank you
When you compare Havana with San Juan wow what a big difference. San Juan is cleaner, well kept, and entrepreneurship is encouraged. It's capitalism vs socialsim the vast majority of people, if they had a choice between these two capitals they would chose San Juan. Both cities are beautiful, but San Juan is well maintained and cleaner.
Yes I believe both cities are beautiful :-) thanks for the detailed feedback.
Wow, so beautiful, it almost look as if you're touring some areas of the French Quarter here in New Orleans based on the architecture.
Never been to New Orleans but it is interesting to see that the architectural styles are similar.
@alyssiamelange
I’m glad ya’ll liked it, but you must understand that San Juan was founded first than New Orleans, it’s a matter of history, New Orleans looks like San Juan.
WOW loved watching the walking tour. Very beautiful. Things to consider when my next trip comes around 👍🏽👍🏽
Old San Juan is a beautiful place. Thank you for visiting the channel :-)
Awesome ❤
Thanks for the feedback =)
Puerto Rico original indigenous island name is (Borikèn) United States territory property since 1898 after the island was a Spain colony for more than 400 years but this gorgeous island paradise were my mother was born in Utuado, Puerto Rico (Borikèn) is more than El Viejo San Juan and beautiful beaches This island in the greater antilles in the atlantic and the Caribbean Ocean in Central America have an incredible stunning natural wonders in the island County side you need to see specially the Switzerland of Puerto Rico (Borikèn) in Ciales Puerto Rico (Borikèn)🇵🇷🇺🇸
I would love to visit Ciales, PR one day! Thanks for the detailed feedback. :-)
Autonomía con España antes de 1898. No colonia; para ser fieles a la historia.
Thank you so much for this spectacular gift! I❤PR
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video :-)
Спасибо за видео!
Thank you for visiting the channel :-)
Mi pueblo natal. Naci en Ballaja.
Wow this is your home town? You must have great memories growing up here! Thank you for the comment!
@@MooMooAway Imagine as a kid playing soldiers in a real fortress/castle.
2:41 for everybody who knows the movie ‚assassins‘ with Sylvester stallone, this Video is so good
Thanks for the feedback. Is this where they filmed that movie? I haven’t watch it. That’s why I’m asking :-)
Yeah, the antiguo casino was a bank in the movie, and in 4:26 the house with that green thing on it was a Hotel where banderas sit and wait until stallone step out the bank so he can shoot him. In the 90‘s there was another floor on that Building, don‘t know why they tore it off. But it‘s so iconic for me to See that filmings from you👍
@Fantomas180 I should watch the movie myself. Thanks for the info! =)
Thanks for bringing back so many memories. So many changes from the days where these used to be my stomping grounds.
Glad you enjoyed it! When did you live in Old San Juan?
@@MooMooAway Never lived there but flew four of five times a year. Fridays the streets were filled with the party people. Many, many clubs in the area then. It was complete heaven. This was in the early Seventies.
Tan bonito las áreas nuevas de los Puertos .pero que deterioro en el casco de San Juan muchas tiendas desalojadas y las calles horribles nunca pensé ver a mi Querido San Juan tan abandonado .
Thanks for the detailed feedback, Eduardo! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Siempre hay un necio que viene a autodenigrarnos!
Que mal ve usted al viejo San Juan, única persona que se expresa así. No merece llegar a esta tierra.
love going there but its soooo F-in hot. I was dying walking thru there. My wife claims its the stones projecting the heat back onto us from the street.
Yeah.. it is very hot. It could be the stones and .. maybe.. not having much shade between the buildings.
@@MooMooAway its murder. but i like it alot I mean it was hotter than i imagined i thought the sea breeze would help. not. but the scene is great
Yeah.. that’s what it counts. Enjoy your stay in Puerto Rico :-)
🇵🇷❤️
Thank you for visiting :-)
And there are no street vendors running behind you trying to sell you garbage or to rip you off.....like in many countries where they try to rip off the tourist.
Nope, Puerto Rico is not one of those countries, its not even its own country since its an American territory. Its really just like a different state with its own culture (A Touch of Spain) . No annoying people running after you 🤣
@@sandman1843Sand, every country is its own country like it you or not. Keep repeating what you hear from others. Jealousy is what make the man talk garbage, and a rotten heart make him eat the garbage he speak. Only God can judge us....not the devil. No annoying people running after you....like you.
@@agustindejesus7398 I have no idea what you're talking about but ok 😂
@@sandman1843Sand man....of course not...the sand clogged your brain.
@@agustindejesus7398 wow! Why did your mother think it was a good idea to raise you to be rude when she already knew she raised you stupid?
Bienvenido ~

Thank you for the comment, Sean!
Luis miguel? Quien es?

Thank you. Came back a week ago and feeling withdrawals so needed a PR fix..
it seems so empty what time of year was this?
I think it was August of 2021 :-)
I guess Covid has played it’s part in emptying the streets, shops and bars.
Bonito video de todo el viejo San juan pero falto que bajaran para el paseo de la princesa
Thank you for the feedback!
Fred, todavia existe La Princesa?
@@agustindejesus7398 claro que si ahi estan todos los artesanos los fines de semana tambien
@@Fred-lz1vwFreddy, los artesanos estan establecidos, no corren detras de ti pisandote los talones....quieres una alcapurria, tengo de carne y de pollo?
No te gulles de graciosito que no tienes nada solo hice un comentario normal
Me sorprende que no han inventado un cablecito que lleve a uno alla arriba....porque las personas mayores se cansan caminando terreno empinado.
Thank you for the feedback! Yes, I understand your concerns.
What part of the year is this?
August 2021 :-)
I thought you'd pump into Bad Bunny any minute
Thanks for the feedback.
Me da la imprecion de que estas pedaleando por doquier! deves tener unas piernas bien fuertes ya que es un sube y baja la Geografia de la citadela de Viejo San Juan!
Great place to walk around :-) San Juan is beautiful!
Tanto que camine por ahi de teenager.
Walking down the memory lane ;-)
I used to hang out there during the 70's There clubs all over the place. I understand that it is quite quiet now at night. There Disco's everywhere. The buses used to end at the Plaza Colon. There where people everywhere. I miss Old San Juan. I don't even know where my friends have gone now. So many years ago. I did enjoy the video. So many changes.

Yes! YT!
Do you know that Juan Ponce De Leon was the Governor of Puerto Rico, and he made an expedition, and he discovered Florida and then returned to Puerto Rico and from Puerto Rico to Spain and the Queen gave him instruction and to colonize Florida, but all the funding for the colonization of Florida was from The Puerto Rican economy and the Tanios and women's and children and animals that was transported to Florida and Juan Ponce De Leon was killed in Florida by an Indian and later The U.S. sprong into action against Spain and the rest is history. Not only Puerto Rico lost its independence but also it lost Florida. to the U.S.
Thank you for the detailed feedback and the history of Puerto Rico :-)
