Wonderful history and experience.We visited the Fort of San Cristobal in August of 2007. It was a wonderful experience. The view from the top of the fort is gorgeous. We visited in August, so it was very hot outside and also inside some parts of the fort, which made it uncomfortable to view the inside rooms. However, overall it was a great experience, and we enjoyed visiting a historical landmark and learning about its history.OVERALL

Amazing!!!I like everything about this magnificent fort. I think that the people of Puerto Rico should be proud about this heritage that they have. It's a rich history, that cast a spell in all turist.1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALL

Beautiful ViewsGreat price, very friendly staff. Only $3 per person to see one fort, $5 to see both. Self guided. Bring a camera! Gorgeous views of the blue ocean and Old San Juan. The girl at the desk also was very helpful in giving advice/directions to places.4 of 5 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALLAtmosphereValue

I want to share this experienceSan Cristbal is a fascinating experience. Two years ago I went on a cruise that finished in San Juan. Our flight was not until the late afternoon and the royal Caribbean offered several walking tours, I am disabled and picked the least strenuous.
When you first walk into the the fort you can feel the over powering feeling of age and permenence. ...4 of 4 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEW

A step into history!San Cristobal is as lovely as its sister, El Morro. They both share a wall that once surrounded the city. There are a few things to see in this fortress that were not seen in El Morro. The view from the top is different and the structures are different as well. I suggest you get the package deal when paying admission - which isn't much - to see both fortresses. You won't regret it!6 of 7 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALLAtmosphereValue

Wish we could access all of it!It was so full of history and being Puerto Rican, it was nice to learn a bit about our history.
I had a lot of fun but you may want to rethink a stroller. There are a lot of steep hills and it is very hot. You'll be doing a lot of walking. Bring a small cooler with water if you can cause the water is expensive, but cold.

We are going back!My husband and I visited here a few years ago as a stop on our cruise. We loved it so much that when we decided to take a cruise in Jan 2006 with our kids that we picked one with San Juan as a stop so we could go back. We thought that the kids would just love this, however we noticed after we booked our trip that they close at 5PM and that is the ...You have found this review helpful.5 of 8 Yahoo!

it was a mind trip!!!I loved fort san cristobal. it was one of the most interesting things to witness upclose. The sheer size of the walls and the beauty of the ancient engineering was great. i still can't believe they could build something so perfect and large in the 1500's. It is a masterpiece of engineering even by today's standards!!
You have got to go in the dungeon and feel the spirits of the past go through you.
It is a must see!!!!!!!You did not find this review helpful.8 of 11 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALLAtmosphereValue
