Pro
Nice parks and beaches, very relaxed atmosphere, great mexican food everywhere
Con
Perfect weather means I'll never see any of the museums
In a nutshell
A smaller, cleaner LA with lots of outdoor activities
117 Reviews Balboa Park is just northeast of downtown. It is a beautiful piece of land with vast expanses of lush green lawns, many trees and blooming flowers. At this park there are hiking and biking trails, kiddy play grounds and it is a great place to spread a blanket and take in the sun or have a picnic....
81 Reviews While in Old Town, a visit to the Serra Museum, commonly known as The Presidio, would be interesting to history buffs. This Spanish style structure is not the original Presidio, but a commemorative effort built in 1927 to honor Father Junipero Serra and Captian Gasper de Portola who established the...
Hotel Solamar - A Kimpton Hotel
4 Reviews and 708 Opinions I booked this hotel as part of a weekend getaway to San Diego with my fiancee. We were quite happy...
2 Reviews and 768 Opinions This is a nice, comfy hotel on the bluff overlooking Pacific Beach. Great views. No restaurant, but...
12 Reviews Anthony's has been a favorite in San Diego for many years. It is conveniently located on Harbor Drive, along the San Diego Bay near the Star of India, the Cruise Ship Terminals and the Habor Cruise kiosks. There are three restaurants rolled into one at this spot. The Star of the Sea Room is...
53 Reviews Backstage At Aubergine offered dinner and the popular play, "Forever Plaid" for many years and now the play has moved on. At the moment the theater is dark. However, Aubergine offers more than theater and you might find the charming dining room, the hip bar or the very casual café worth a...
12 Reviews This place is great because of the atmosphere and the huge amounts of good looking young people partying, dancing and havinga great time. Within 6 or 7 blocks are about 50 different bars and clubs and the streets are packed with people partying until early in the morning. Best nights are Thursday to...
47 Reviews San Diego has a small trolley system with plans of expanding. The BLUE LINE runs south to north, from San Ysidro (At the Mexican boarder) to the San Diego Mission de Alcala. The ORANGE LINE runs west to east, from downtown San Diego to Gillespie Field in El Cajon. On 10 July 2005 the GREEN...
11 Reviews This station is wonderfull located right next door to Old Town. It is easily within walking distance. It is one of many wonderful transit center for the San Diego area. Many of the passenger trains that operate on Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner rail route through here. Not all, but be sure to check the...
22 Reviews Pictured here (4th & Broadway) is the front of Horton Plaza (North side.) Sam Gooddy is a huge and popular music store, Planet Hollywood Restaurant is no longer here, but just in front is the original Horton Plaza Park. Horton Plaza is more than a shopping mall. About 1985 the city decided to...
Fashion Valley / Mission Valley
14 Reviews There are four Macy's in San Diego that are convenient for tourists to reach, Horton Plaza downtown, Fashion Valley mall which is service by the SD Trolley Fashion Valley station and two Mission Valley locations also near the SD Trolley Mission Valley station. Macy's is a large chain throughout the...
5 Reviews San Diego is quite the beach culture. These peops are raised on the wet sand and they're not so friendly to outsiders. You stick out like a sore thumb if you're wearing elastic trunks while drinking and chillin on the beach. Before you go, invest in some board shorts. Don't get them in San Diego...
21 Reviews East Village (Petco Park etc.) is fine, just try to stay out of there after dark. Same with the gaslamp quarter. Do NOT go north of the 5 freeway up to the 8 except for Hillcrest, Mission Valley etc. Although you will probably not venture into these areas, try tobstay out of Chula Vista, Imperial...
15 Reviews Hello, This is a warning to motorists who use the new toll Southbay Express 125 freeway that is accesed off the 54 freeway. Please be aware that the Ca. Highway Patrol is extremely vigilant and spends alot of time monitoring this highway. While the maximum speed limit is 65mph PLEASE be cautious and...
9 Reviews Everyone should go to "TJ" at least once in their lives. It is incredible that so many people can be crammed into a space so small. ALWAYS haggle with the shop owners. Don't be too cheap - but they will always drop the price, especially if you are buying more than one item from them, e.g. "I'll give...
11 Reviews This place used to be a place to view marine animals. It still is, but you have to look for them. There are lots of games which really belong in an amusement park, which SeaWorld has become. It is WAY over priced. If you want to see fish, go to an acquarium. UPDATE: Anhauser-Busch, which owned Sea...
6 Reviews On the VT Gear website the question is asked, "Ever wonder who you're standing next to?" Well, that is one reason to wear VT gear, but I have another reason. To easily keep track of my grandkids while we are on an adventure! As you can see from the photo, they each have their own style, yet,...
8 Reviews 1 small back-pack,or carry-on will do ! - Flip-flop Sandals a must f. the beaches,or just about any where around.- Swimwear.- Aftr. November a wet-suit for Surfers.- Sunglasses.- UV- lotion,etc.-Maybe a visor,or sun-hat.--otherwise T-Shirt + shorts is all you ever need.- No.15 Sun-lotion. A chair...
24 Reviews Located on the Berkley 1898 Steam Ferry that operated from 1898 to 1958 as a ferryboat in the San Francisco Bay. She is a California State Historic Landmark and a National Historic Landmark. She is still very stately and elegant. She nows serve as a museum, library, workshop, model shop, & museum...
18 Reviews While visiting San Diego a day trip to the Rancho Bernardo area might be fun. The main attractions are The San Diego Zoo Safari Park (Fromally known as the Wild Animal Park,) Bernardo Winery and Orfila Winery. Orfila is my favorite winery. I come with a friend, taste a few wines and buy a bottle...
20 Reviews Broadway is the main street in the downtown area. Though our San Diego Padres Baseball team lost the bid for the World Series, the fans welcomed them home with a huge parade down Broadway! Imagine what would happen if we had won! The same thing happened when the SD Chargers didn't win the Super...
26 Reviews If it is the beach you're looking forward to, I'd suggest that which one you spend most time at would depend upon your income level and tastes. Ocean Beach is a "funky,""let it flow" type of place and the main street, Newport Avenue is full of restaurants and bars, and the Ocean Beach Hotel is...
