We waiting in along line just to get into the city and I think everyone was trying to get to this parking lot. It took about 40 minutes to wind through a few streets of the city and when we got here, they were not letting people in saying it was full, but we could see that there were plenty of open spots. What a waste of time! We ended up parking a bit out of town for free and walking in.
Yes, this lot is cheap and big, but it just didn't work out for us and it would have been nice to know why they weren't letting people in and or not wait 40 minutes to get there. My tip for parking when visiting Old San Juan is to park early in your journey into the city and walk. Don't drive through the whole thing at a snail's pace just to be turned away at the parking lot with lots of open spaces. read more
