About Fortaleze Street

Get into the lively ambiance of old San Juan at Fortaleza Street. Wandering the cobblestoned street lined with colonial-era structures, you can find numerous shops selling souvenirs, clothes, jewelry, and other things. Check out the bars, blend with the locals, and enjoy your drink. The street is a destination that represents the culture and spirit of its city. It offers endless shopping with a charmingly old-school backdrop. Try not to forget yourself in the enchanting hustle and bustle, and take plenty of pictures of balconies, colonial-style buildings. You could hop on a trolley if you want to move around faster. On this street, you would find a lot of things you want to take back home. The locally made works here are motivated by the island nation’s culture, color, and architecture.
