Going to Bad Bunny’s Residency in Puerto Rico? Here’s the Ultimate Travel Guide

If there’s one place in the world to experience the full gravitational pull of one of Latin music’s most magnetic superstar today — Bad Bunny — it’s at San Juan’s Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot, commonly referred to as “El Choli” by locals.

This Friday, Bad Bunny will transform the venue into a cultural epicenter with his unprecedented 30-show residency: No Me Quiero Ir De Aquí (I Don’t Want To Leave Here). Running from July 11 to Sept. 14, the concert series will showcase his Billboard 200 top-charting album Debí Tirar Más Fotos, which dropped earlier this year.

Historically, a sold-out performance at the Coliseo is a rite of passage for Latin music stars. Located in San Juan’s bustling Milla de Oro district, the 18,500-seat venue has hosted icons like Daddy Yankee, Wisin & Yandel, and even Metallica. However, Benito’s residency is something entirely unique.
