My grandfather uses a wheelchair. Is Christ Chapel accessible for people with reduced mobility?

Because of its location in a historic area and its old structure, direct access to Christ Chapel may be somewhat limited for wheelchairs, as there are steps and it usually does not have ramps. However, Del Cristo Street, where it is located, is walkable, and the view from the outside is very beautiful. For more details, I recommend contacting the local tourism office in San Juan.

In addition, just a short walk away you can explore Paseo de la Princesa, the Former Casino of Puerto Rico, and of course the charming streets and squares of Old San Juan, full of history and color.

Any practical tips to make the most of my visit to Christ Chapel?
