San Juan is a Latin American city with Spanish-based culture, mixed with African traditions and TaÃno culture. Museums of modern art exist abroad. The citizens of San Juan are very festive, as on the rest of the island. San Juan has bars and discotheques all-around the city, from Old San Juan to even the southern part of the city that stay open to 3:00-4:00AM. San Juan has become very modernized as of late, with its first Metro line called Tren Urbano and buses. Like most large cities, however, there is a small population of vagrants and beggars lining the streets.
San Juan is the financial capital of Puerto Rico. There are facilities for petroleum and sugar refining, and pharmaceuticals.
