You can do shopping but it is also an activity destination that can be very fun for family. There is a Fun Box rope course (Sky Trail), CXC Simulations (simulator rides), Arcade Mania (a large arcade) complete with bumper cars, K1 Speed (indoor racing cars), and a bowling alley. There are also new bars and restaurants, and movie theaters.

City advice
Getting around
Rent a Car
My recommendation would be to rent a car so it can be easier to move around. During late at night I don’t recommend to go to Loiza area (when getting out of the apartment to the right is the way to Loiza area).
