圣胡安门印象
-
I loved the history of Old San Juan, and the gate. The magnitude of the door and how old it is, is very impressive!
-
Start at the ocean and walk the path to the gate. We saw great statues, pelicans the fountain....all beautiful

Here's the thing - you're just not going to find many places like this in the Western Hemisphere so when you have a chance to see one you owe it to yourself to check it out. The gate itself is not pretentious, it's not overly impressive, the doors aren't massive or bejeweled or intricately inscribed with scenes of battle. In fact in some ways it's a little underwhelming. So forget the grandeur and history of Europe and concentrate instead on what this gate represents in terms of the history of San Juan. It is a beautiful setting and walking out the gate and then along the city walls and eventually to the Fort will give you lovely views of the harbor. It's not about the gate, it's what the gate represents - a passage of time, a step back in history, an opening to the soul of our ancestors. And be thankful no one decided to make this some gaudy and glorified tourist attraction - there are enough of those in the world already. This is a gate to enter and exit San Juan, pass through it and soak in the surroundings.

This gate is a nice piece of history. Read the signs along the path to get the story. Walk through it. It's really big.
-
Nice to stroll by. Nice area and near cruise ship area.It would be nice if they did more in the area...
-
Start by the large fountain, "Raices," and walk along the Paseo de la Princesa. It's a lovely walk along the oceanfront, and then you can walk into the city through the gate. This would have been the formal entrance for people visiting the city.
-
We fuelled up for breakfast and headed to the San Juan gate - there is a mile long boardwalk and some shady spots for resting up. Has an appropriately cultural feel to it!
-
The "City Gate" or, as it is referred to here, "The San Juan Gate", is one of the stops along the La Princessa walkway which runs from the fountains, near the Fortaleza and the main parking lot, all the way out to the El Morro fort. It is a great walk, especially when cruise ships are coming in or out - you seem to almost be able to touch them. The "City Gate" is handy, if you get thirsty. Go through it, to the top of the hill, turn left and you are in front of the Convento hotel, which has one of the best bars in the city. Great ambiance and reasonable prices.

Easy to catch the free trolley and then walk to on your own downtown Old San Juan which is near the wall on waterfront.

Going down to the water and the pathway along the sea was beautiful. Reversing the direction and going from the sea up the hill to the heart of Old San Juan was fun as well. This gate is one of the entrances to a long and peaceful walk along the water.
