THINGS TO DO
There are many things to do in the surrounding areas, here are some of our favorites:
Chill at the beach! The apartment has beach chairs, towels, and coolers for a long day at the beach. Several beaches to choose from! Ocean Park, Isla Verde Beach, Condado Beach, Escambrón Beach and many more. Take a short Uber ride and enjoy your day at the beach.
A Street Art Tour of Santurce - Colorful, vibrant, and artsy, that is Santurce! Reminiscent of Miami's Wynwood Arts District or Chicago's West Loop, this San Juan district's fizzy personality is the result of a community of artists coming together year after year to "fix-up" a forgotten neighborhood. The community of artists grew into a movement motivated by the idea that art can change and heal buildings as well as people.
The Condado Lagoon is just a 5 minute walk away! We highly recommend renting a paddle board and enjoying a nice relaxing day at the lagoon. It also has a wonderful jogging trail surrounding the Lagoon which is fantastic.
Explore Miramar, This up-and-coming hip street is littered with funky dining and shopping options.
Visit Puerto Rico Convention Center is the largest convention center in the Caribbean and one of the most technologically advanced in the Americas.
Lunch or dinner at “La Placita de Santurce” – a local market with 20+ restaurants and awesome nightlife. We love “Santaella” restaurant, local cuisine with a modern approach located in La Placita.
If you are in the mood for a relaxing night at the movie theater, you can visit Fine Arts Cinema, which is just a two-minute drive from Artsy Flat.
Explore the El Yunque Rainforest. El Yunque is an easy 40-minute drive from the property and is the only rainforest under US Flagship.
Spend a day in Old San Juan. Artsy Flat is a 10-minute drive away from the oldest city in all of the US. There’s a lot of history to be seen and great food and drinks to be had.
