This Latin island is the Caribbean made easy—and accessible. Almost every major U.S. airline has nonstop flights from Chicago, Dallas, Miami, and New York to San Juan, the capital. If you're mathematically challenged, there's no currency conversion to worry about, since the almighty dollar is the coin of the realm (it's not for nothing that this American territory is known as the fifty-first state). But a world of diversity and a very distinct culture are packed into Puerto Rico's compact 4,400 square miles. Old San Juan has centuries-old colonial charm, the coasts are lined with plush beaches and sheer cliffs, and inland, the rugged terrain includes hills covered in dense rain forest. If there's not enough to entertain you on the mainland, Culebra and Vieques—just a puddle jump or a ferry ride to the east—are emerging getaways.

Attractions & Activities
Puerto Rico's traditional center, Old San Juan is a seven-block labyrinth of narrow cobblestone streets and tree-choked plazas lined with monuments, fountains, colonial churches, and eighteenth-century buildings. Today, some house chic boutiques, galleries, museums, and eateries.

The five-story Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico is a bold space with some 130,000 square feet and 25 galleries of permanent collections, including native paintings, sculpture, ceramics, video art, photography, and folk art. The main atrium is used for traveling exhibitions, and the five-acre garden has native flowers and modern sculptures (787-977-6277; mapr.org).

Every evening, the bars in Old San Juan start hopping with salsa. Two of the old city's best are the Nuyorican Café (312 Calle San Francisco) and Rumba, where dancers give mini-lessons in salsa dancing (152 Calle San Sebastián; open Thurs.–Sun.). On Thursdays, La Placita del Mercado de Santurce (the Santurce Market) heaves with salsa lovers dancing to small impromptu bands both inside and outside various bars and shops.

Bordering the old town, the San Juan National Historic Site is one of the island's most popular tourist attractions. On the World Heritage List, it incorporates El Morro, the brooding fort that guards the entrance to San Juan Bay; Fort San Cristóbal, the 1634 military marvel with ramparts soaring to 150 feet; and layered defenses radiating from a honeycomb of tunnels and moats covering 27 acres.
