Parque de las Palomas
A small park on the city walls of Old San Juan, home to hundreds of pigeons. It also offers views over San Juan Bay and Paseo de la Princesa.
Parque de las Palomas sits atop the city walls at the end of Calle Fortaleza, next to the Capilla del Cristo. The park is named for its many pigeons, which nest in holes in the walls. Visitors can buy feed to feed them, though it's best to watch where you step. The walls offer wide views over San Juan Bay, Paseo de la Princesa, and the far shore of the bay, making it a great place to watch the sunset. Admission is free, and it's a one-minute walk from the umbrella street.
