Beautiful city and ocean views.
After spending some time at the Castillo San Felipe del Morro we walked over to the Castillo de San Cristobal to enjoy another piece of history. This fort was just as big but slightly younger than it’s counterpart across the way. It offered stunning views of the city and sea and has been well maintained to give the appearance of how it used to look long ago. If you purchase a ticket at the Castillo San Felipe del Morro you can gain entry into this historic site as well. The walk between both forts is short and worth it with beautiful ocean views along the entire walk.

We paid $10 per person to enter this site. Very interesting site that offers great views of this area. Interesting to know that our ticket could have also gained us entry into the other castle in San Juan.
