Experience San Juan at its most modern in a chic neighbourhood packed with high-end fashion shops, elegant casinos and popular restaurants.
A picturesque city beach lies on the edge of streets full of stylish shops and restaurants in Condado, one of San Juan’s most desirable neighbourhoods. Stroll around the district for window-shopping at high-end boutiques or spend luxuriously in the stores of world-famous fashion brands. After shopping, relax outdoors near the Caribbean Sea or enjoy the evening in the neighbourhood’s restaurants and casinos.
Start your journey around the neighbourhood in La Ventana Al Mar, the “window to the sea.” This peaceful park space leads directly to the beach and offers shaded places to sit and relax. The park also hosts concerts, including a jazz night on the last Sunday of each month. Take your children to Parque del Indio, which features a fun play area and ocean views.
Head to Condado Beach, one of San Juan’s popular city beaches. Lounge under an umbrella or palm tree or paddle in the shallow water. On the other side of the neighbourhood, find Condado Lagoon, a sheltered place to kayak or paddleboard.
Indulge in the luxury of Ashford Avenue, Condado’s main shopping street. Here, find some of the biggest names in fashion and jewellery, making this a regular destination for the rich and famous. Off this street, local designers produce fashionable clothing.
Sample an international array of flavours in the restaurants of Condado. Fine dining venues appeal to the neighbourhood’s celebrity visitors, but it is equally possible to pick up quick snacks near the beach.
Enjoy the nightlife of Condado and party with celebrities in some of San Juan’s hottest bars and clubs. Alternatively, spend the evening at one of the casino hotels offering a variety of table games in sophisticated settings.
Condado is located near Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport, which is only 10 minutes away by car. Drive here and explore this pedestrian-friendly neighbourhood on foot. Visit in spring or fall to avoid both the crowds of winter and the wet season in the summer months.
