★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A must in Veracruz, the construction is very solid! You know why it was build at the moment you see it is separated from the main land. Went here not knowing there are very good guides that know a lot of the history of the place. So, give it a try, bring some hats, sun glasses and snickers because you will walk a bit.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ San Juan de Ulua, Veracruz’s little gem. I recommend visiting this attraction. The tourist bus will take you there for $50 pesos ( $2.25 ) and the cost to enter is $60 pesos ($3 dollars). It’s an amazing attraction and as cheap as it gets.
You’ll get the option to pay a little bit more for a guided tour or you can just freely walk around the premises.
Bring water, for sure. Sun block and a hat wouldn’t hurt. If by any chance you forget, worry not, plenty of vendors outside the Fort selling everything you’ll need, CHEAP.
Definitely visit. Worth it.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great historic fort with a lot to see. A pity that it's been allowed to degrade so much. Still, there seems to be a lot of work going into renovations of at least the core structures. Hopefully when I come back I can view this historic treasure in it's full glory. Definitely worth a visit. I would recommend the guided tour as well, there are a few English speaking guides.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ At least 450 years old, the existence of this fort predates the founding of Boston.
The architecture corresponds to the military models of the time. It might not be as well preserved as other castle/forts in the Caribbean, but it certainly is worth your visit. I have 2 small children, and we found plenty to enjoy as a family in our 2 hour-long visit.
You can hire private tour guides at the entrance, but there is also plenty of information online to inform you as you search its many nooks and crannies.
It's well worth the 60 pesos entry fee.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing colonial-era fortress that has been reused throughout the centuries. Guided tours are highly recommended as the tour guides have a lot of insider info.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Interesting historical site. But perhaps next time i will go by my own. I took the tranvia at malecon, there are 11am and 1pm roundtrip tours for 100 pesos. Once arrived a tour guy charged 100 pesos but we were told it was 60 pesos. Tour guy told us it was more because group of 7 person was small group that why he increased the price. Don't expect receipt. He offered only 1 hour tour inside the Ulua fort and after that he will take you directly to the exit. Tour guide was in a hurry and had not patience for photos. Read before you go and skip the tour guide. Entrance it's 65 pesos. 60 years and over; 3 yr or younger and teachers are free of charge. Place is beautiful, although many areas are still closed due to covid. Entrance and travia service is good. Tour guide is bad.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Historical site in big disrepair but worth visiting while in Veracruz. It is a shame that this place has been literally abandoned and it is slowly decaying and falling apart. The views of the port from here are breathtaking. Transportation is very limited to get to this place. I used a taxi cab that charged 100 pesos each way. There is also a tram that departs from the Mercado de Artesanias that costs 50 pesos round trip. The entrance fee is 85 pesos and free with INAPAM credentials.
