Paseo La Princesa

[KnightsofColumbus]

Is the Paseo La Princesa a good place to go at night, or is everything pretty much shut down.

 

Also, where is the best area to go shopping in Old San Juan? Just general shopping if your not looking for anything in particular!

Paseo del Princesa is actually just a historic walkway, outside the walled city. There are no stores on it- just old buildings and sculptures/fountains, the city wall, the city gate, the SJ Bay and an nice walkway to watch the sunset. It is safe and lite up, patroled by police and loads of cats!

 

It is a nice walk.

If you walk through the city gates, that will take you up into OSJ. Many stores will be closed,but a few will be open until about 8pm. But the city is lite up, and it is very pretty at night.

Then you can walk back through th old city back to the ship.

We walked it in the early evening as it was getting dark, there were vendors along the way and some art exhibit, it was very nice and felt safe. We walked up to the gate through the wall then turned around went bak to the Sheraton, there were plenty of people around; it was a Saturday night.
