What to do in San Juan when it rains

When San Juan turns grey, head for the indoors — centuries of history in its museums, art to lose an hour in, and markets and cafés out of the rain.

Museums

Spend a few hours in the city's museums — many are free, and a rainy day is the perfect excuse to take your time.

Art galleries

Duck into the art galleries; they're quiet, warm and rarely busier than on a wet day.

Historic sites

Explore the indoor historic sites and their covered galleries.

Covered markets

Browse the covered market — street-food stalls, local makers and somewhere dry to graze for an hour.

Cafés

Claim a window seat in a cosy café and watch the rain instead of walking in it.
