San Juan, Puerto Rico – One of the “The 10 Best U.S. Cities to Visit in 2019” Smartertravel

Puerto Rico is ready and eager to welcome back tourists to the island in 2019. There are many more opportunities for travelers to enjoy a tropical vacation that doesn’t require a passport. You can go shopping along Condado Beach or visit the Santurce neighborhood to taste San Juan’s rising culinary scene for yourself. At Lote 23, you’ll find a “gastronomic park” made up of dozens of food stalls that serve everything from grilled fish to tacos, pizza, and donuts.

Visitors in January could also have the opportunity to take part in a historical musical event—the San Juan production of Hamilton. Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator of the renowned Broadway musical, will reprise his role as Alexander Hamilton in San Juan for the first time since he stepped off stage in New York in 2016.
