Museums and Lots of Rum!:
There are many wonderful museums in Old San Juan and one of my favorite is the Native American Museum. This is not your average museum because a man from Sweden took a trip all over the America's including going down the Amazon river... making plaster casts of indigenous people along the way. When he got home he made bronze full body castings of these people... and donated them to our museum--an amazing collection of art and relics are in the museum.
We have the oldest Church in all of the Western World located in Old San Juan... and it is open for the public to walk through.
You can enjoy our rum drinks at any of the local bars in Old San Juan. We make almost all the rum for the US and the world. Bacardi is right on the other side of the bay and you can take a taxi over and enjoy the Bacardi Tour and 3 free drinks in their tasting room. They have a great movie about the history of Bacardi too that is very interesting.
