Best Time to Visit Puerto Rico 

If I had to pick the best time to visit Puerto Rico, it would be December to April. The island is bustling with beach activities, fun events and tourists moving around to have fun. Puerto Rico weather is quite warm yet highly humid, rainfall is less making it the best time to explore the city day and night. If you wish to have less crowd on your vacation in Puerto Rico then the off-season that lasts from May to November would be a great time for you. 

The prices for every service are lower than in the peak season, you see more locals and fewer tourists around. But this also means that the city might not be hosting as many activities and festivals as in the peak season. Visit the city anytime, it will always be as entertaining throughout the year. Fun events or not, you can always relax and spend your leisure time at the beaches, roam around the city and soak in the culture always. Puerto Rico airport transfers and private taxi transfers will always be available for passengers to move around in every season.

Publicos, shared vans or minibuses that travel along defined paths, are used as an alternative to public transit in Puerto Rico. They are easily identified by the "Pblico" sign and are commonly utilised for local journeys within towns. Publicos generally wait until they have a sufficient number of passengers before leaving.
