Will have a Friday afternoon in San Juan, staying at the Marriott. Is there any sightseeing with a dash of local shopping near the hotel? We won't have a car.
not sure how close or far it is from the marriot, but it's very easy to take a cab to old san juan. You can spend half a day walking the cobblestone streets, shopping and sightseeing at the old forts.
i'd also suggest a visit to one of the 14th century forts, both right at the corners of old san juan. you'll only have time to visit 1 and i believe they are open until 6pm
