Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, so day-to-day practicalities generally work like they do on the mainland — with a few local differences worth knowing about medical care, pharmacies, driving, alcohol laws, and medical cannabis before you arrive. In addition to general information, this guide shows you exactly where to find hospitals and urgent care across the island, organized by region and municipality. Keep this information handy whether you are visiting for a week or settling in for good.
