The piers
Where the ships dock in San Juan
Piers 3 and 4, Old San Juan
On Calle Marina at the foot of the old city, 500 m from the center. You'll step straight into Old San Juan; San Cristóbal is 10 to 15 minutes away on foot. Taxis and ride-hailing cars wait outside the gates.
Pier 1
The oldest pier, next to Pier 3, is closed and awaiting reconstruction. Ships use Piers 3 and 4 and the Pan American piers meanwhile.
The Pan American piers
Across the bay on Isla Grande, these piers mostly serve cruises that start and end in San Juan. Take a taxi to the old city. It isn't a practical walk. The airport is about 10 minutes away by car.
The port recorded 506 ship calls in a recent year, with its passenger total rounded to 1.43 million. Most travelers were visiting for the day. With three or more ships, your tour choices can fill up. Book fort walks and El Yunque trips the day before.
