City advice

Book before you go

Car rentals

They sold out fast. Plan your rental ahead of time.
Getting around

Transportation

I suggest transportation if planning to go around the island, it is small, but not as small for walking.
Useful phrases

Spanish is the local language

Even though english may be common around, using some Spanish is appreciated by locals: -Yes/No: Sí/No -Good morning: Buenos días -Good afternoon Buenas tardes -Good evening/night: Buenas noches -Excuse me: Disculpe -Do you speak English / French / Deutch?: Habla inglés/francés/alemán?
Getting around

Asking for directions

In Vieques, and Puerto Rico in general, getting directions is tricky. Directions are given by references, not necessarily by address. You will find common descriptions like, “keep straight and make a left after the blue house...”.
