I would allow between 1 and 2 hours....you can certainly get a good overview of the fort in an hour if your time is limited.

It’s located at the cruise port in San Juan. No major impact from Storm Karen. We are open for business in PR.

I agree with other comments. I have been in Puerto Rico three times since this fall, and I felt perfectly safe, at all times, in Old San Juan. I am certain there are parts of the island that are less safe, but that is true of any place. Still, my son lives there so I have spent a lot of time in the area , always feeling safe and respected. I was there alone for a couple of days as well- still felt safe and no inappropriate remarks. In fact I found everyone as vert friendly and I felt safer than I do in most American cities..

Until 5pm; unless there’s a special event, they may close early or opened a bit later.

Hey! No, I was not on a cruise when I toured and visited the Fort. But from the pier is about 15 minutes, walking distance, do not take a Taki, you will enjoy the walk believe me there’s a lot of things to see and enjoy in your way. You might want to try this 2 restaurants: 1- La Cueva Del Mar 2- Casa Cortés Enjoy your stay in beautiful Old San Juan!!!!

Hi Yes the trolleys are running but we didn't make use of them because we enjoy walking so waked everywhere.

There is a parking garage very close by, literally 3 minutes away

Yes, you can get down to the beach, but locals warn tourists not to go into the La Per Perla area of the beach - it is half way between the two forts that span the cost line. There really is no actual beach - just rocks and a walk way outside the wall. Definitely worth taking photos - there are some great opportunities from the fort itself of the water.

I visited right before the hurricane so I’m not sure if they are back up and running now.

Yes! It´s open and you are more than welcome!!
