San Juan
San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico, is set on the north-eastern coast of the island on the Atlantic Ocean. It is the country's most important port as well as its economic and cultural centre. It has around 442 thousand inhabitants, while the whole metropolitan area is home to more than 2.5 million people. San Juan has a growing tobacco, sugar and textile industry. The historic Old Town draws visitors with its colonial architecture. A tropical climate brings warm temperatures all year round, though the best time to visit is the dry season from December to April.
