Paseo de la Princesa, Historic waterfront promenade in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The promenade extends along San Juan Bay with palm trees, antique lampposts, benches, and decorative fountains that line the walkway.
Built in 1853, Paseo de la Princesa formed part of the original city defensive system, connecting to the San Juan Gate entrance.
Local artisans display handmade crafts and traditional Puerto Rican food vendors offer regional specialties along the pathway during weekends.
Visitors can access the promenade daily, with the most active times occurring during sunset hours when temperatures become more moderate.
The Raices Fountain at the end of the walkway represents the three main cultural influences of Puerto Rico: Indigenous, Spanish, and African.
