I liked that it was easy to get around the fort. Plenty of things to see. Also, pay to visit El Morro at the same time.

We visited San Cristobal during our recent stay in San Juan. We walked there from our hotel and it was a fairly steep hike up a hill to get to the entrance but it was worth it. The views were amazing, The fort has been nicely restored and has signage explaining what you are seeing. There are a lot of... More

The sense of history and importance of this fort to the development of the Caribbean and the United States was paramount. It was easy to walk around on our own and read details from guide books and see first had how people lived 500 years ago.

A very interesting structure a lot of stairs and steep access a little dangerous for small children, but a very enjoyable experience.

We rented an apartment across the street from Fort. We spent an afternoon walking around the fort. The historical information is well documented. The views from the top are astounding. My grown son and his girlfriend loved learning about the history of Old San Juan.

San Cristobal is every bit as scenic as El Morro, but receives only a handful of visitors each day. If it seems to far from where you're at, hop on the free trolley and get off at stop 18b, tour the fort while avoiding the crowds.

For only $3 admission, we toured the entire huge fort. This is a MUST visit when in Old San Juan. What is not frequently advertised is the fact that there is FREE trolley service in the city, one takes you in the inner city and the other to the forts.

Nice, historical site. Lots and lots of walking. They encourage you to be hydrated, but don't allow you to bring in water.

I recommend getting there early as the sun can be pretty brutal. You will need sunscreen for this walking trip. There is so much history surrounding this place that a wiki would do a much better job. Cheap and fun time.
