• The island is generally tolerant of LGBTQ visitors.
• Areas like San Juan (Condado, Santurce, Hato Rey) are considered openly welcoming to the LGBTQ community.
• Public areas are common social gathering spots for neighbors.
• A polite demeanor and smile are appreciated.
• When greeting women, close physical proximity and cheek kisses are customary.
