There are a few ways to get to VSJ (Viejo San Juan): car, bus, or ferry. Let's start with the easiest way, car!
To get to VSJ by car there are only a few ways to enter, so Google Maps isn't a pain. The only IMPORTANT thing is to know where to park. The majority part of VSJ has cobblestone streets so I highly recommend parking right before heading into this area.
You will find a lot of parking structures and lots in VSJ, all ranging in different prices. The farther away you are from the center of the area the less it will be. Parkopedia.com is always a great resource to check out the prices!
Spanish Tip: Parking in Spanish is Estacionamiento~
Personally we always do "Estacionamiento Doña Fela" it's always a happy medium. Not too far but also you save a few dollars! It's CASH ONLY and it gets full quickly, arrive early to get a spot.
By bus: Getting to VSJ by bus is pretty simple. The T9 and E10 will take you. The station is called "Terminal Covadonga San Juan". Google Maps is useful here too, so far it hasn't failed me in knowing the bus stops and when buses will arrive.

Lastly, we got the ferry from Cataño. I'm going to be honest, I haven't done this way yet since I live pretty close, but, a lot of people use it if they are going to the Barcadi Factory after exploring VSJ (Taxi is around $3-5 dollars).
The ferry runs every 15 mins during rush hours and every 30 mins before and after. The last ferry from Cataño to VSJ is at 9:30pm, vice verse is 10pm. Below is a site with more info and where you can buy tickets!

Drink Time!
There are a ton of bars in VSJ, but these are always my go-to's! Keep an eye out for a guide for bar crawling.



Things To Do
Honestly, when I go to VSJ, I just walk wherever I'm vibin' with that day. The beautiful color streets are great for photos. These are just a few things you must see when you're in the area!
