Audio Guide of Bacardí Exhibition

The Waterfront and the Cataño Boardwalk are public spaces open 24 hours a day, although the atmosphere is livelier on weekend afternoons. The most scenic and popular way to get there is by taking the Cataño Ferry (ATI) from Old San Juan, a short ride with spectacular views of the bay.

Access to the waterfront promenade, the plazas, and the outdoor sculptures is completely free for all visitors. The only associated cost would be transportation, such as the ferry, which has a very affordable fare of about $0.50 per trip, or if you decide to visit nearby private attractions.

We recommend setting aside 2 to 3 hours to stroll leisurely along the boardwalk, enjoy the sea breeze, and have something at the local kiosks. If you plan to include a guided visit to the nearby distillery, you should add at least 2 more hours to your itinerary.

Cataño is known as the 'Antechamber of the Capital' and has historically been the essential maritime link to Old San Juan. It is famous for its rum-making tradition, as the home of the largest rum distillery in the world, and for its cultural festivals celebrating Puerto Rican music and cuisine.

Without a doubt, sunset is the magical moment; you can watch Castillo San Felipe del Morro light up across the bay as the sun goes down. For a more festive and family-friendly atmosphere, weekend afternoons are ideal for enjoying local culture at its finest.

Yes, the Waterfront and Boardwalk area has been renovated and features wide, paved sidewalks and ramps that make access easier for wheelchairs and strollers. In addition, the ferry terminal complies with accessibility standards to ensure safe transit.

You are very close to the famous Casa Bacardí, where you can take mixology and rum tasting tours. You can also take the ferry across and explore San Juan National Historic Site on the other side of the bay.

Bring sunscreen and light clothing, as the breeze can be deceptive but the sun is strong, and take advantage of the food options at the waterfront kiosks to enjoy authentic local cuisine at a good price.
