Gaslamp Quarter
0.1 miles from downtown
This place is a gas. Named after streetlights of yore, this historic district has come a long way from its days as a seedy pleasure-town for grog-swilling seamen. Today its quaint Victorian buildings are crammed with eateries and bars. Devour a juicy steak at Greystone, sample rare brews at Tipsy Crow and shake your moneymaker at F6ix hip-hop club.

Pacific Beach

Livin’ is easy in PB. Happy youthful faces abound, welcoming you to their world of fun and sun. Join boarders in the surf or dangle your legs off Crystal Pier, shooting the breeze ‘til sunset. After dark, Garnet Avenue’s slew of bars keep the party going. Head to Tap Room for home-brewed ales, or Bub’s Dive Bar for good ol’ American fare. Far out!

Downtown San Diego
In downtown
Won’t you take me down to Funkytown? This busy area moves and shakes with the best of them. During the day, PETCO Park buzzes with baseball buffs and Little Italy’s pizzerias reverberate with clinking cutlery and delighted diners. At night, the clubbers come out to the Gaslamp Quarter, filling the dance floors at Onyx Room or Stingaree.

Little Italy
0.9 miles from downtown
Mamma mia! An influx of Italian tuna fishermen gave this neighborhood a splash of Old-World color back in the day. Though most have long since hauled anchor, you can still munch meatballs at Mona Lisa or Pappalecco. And don’t miss Little Italy Mercato, a street market awash with green smoothies, gourmet tamales and stuffed sea urchins. Buon appetito!

La Jolla
10.6 miles from downtown
"I don’t wanna brag, but I’m kind of a big deal." Sun-kissed celebs splurge in Girard Avenue’s high-end boutiques. Bigwigs of science and politics stay classy in La Jolla Cove’s swanky seafood joints. And if you prefer starfish to stardust, don your snorkel and plunge into the teeming waters of La Jolla Underwater Park.

Old Town
3.2 miles from downtown
The birthplace of California. In 1769, Spanish explorers set up camp in Presidio Park, firing the starting pistol on California’s colonization. In Old Town, you’ll get a glimpse of San Diego’s infancy. Budding prospectors can pan for gold at Mormon Battalion Museum, while thrill-seekers test their nerve at Whaley House, haunted since 1852.

Coronado
2.3 miles from downtown
Coronado’s a place for California dreamin’. Across the bay from the city, it’s got a family-friendly, small-town feel. Mamas and papas bring their rug rats to pristine Coronado Beach, famous for its gentle surf and fine, white sand. Stop into a hotel that you pass along the way – iconic Hotel Del has dominated the beachfront for 125 years.

Ocean Beach
5.7 miles from downtown
Surf’s up dude! Once known as Mussel Beach, this chilled-out seaside paradise swapped mussels for muscles – these days it’s toned surfers who slink over the sands. OB’s still riding the waves of 60s far-outness; the bongos, hula hoops and amorous twenty-somethings speak for themselves. For that classic California sunset, head up to Sunset Cliffs.

We loved the hop on hop off tour, exploring the various neighborhoods, the food tour In Little Italy, the zoo, and the beach at Hotel Del Coronado. San Diego is a very friendly city and people were willing to help with directions and recommendations.
Beautiful city and the weather was perfect!

Beautiful city and the weather was perfect! There was information available on tours and sites to see. I wished my visit was longer as there were many places to visit! My husband and my granddaughters and I loved the tour we selected. It was both and boat on land and drove right into the water!
San Diego is the best city in California!
August 2, 2023
San Diego is the best city in California! The views, restaurant's, shops, and attractions are the best in the state! Old Town San Diego has amazing spots to walk around, with great restaurants. Watching a game at Petco is one of the best baseball parks to watch a game at. The beaches are clean, the zoo is incredible and Belmont Park is so fun!
Bad location.
July 31, 2023
Bad location. It says walking distance to beaches and no beach access at this location. No rooftop adult pool and no spa, they were both closed. The workers weren't very nice. Everything was way too overpriced. No breakfast options.

We went for Track and field meet for my son; therefore, we did not have enough time to explore what we wanted. Definitely would like to go back. I've been in the area before - La Jolla area is great. Great beaches, Coronado. Sea World is the place to go back.
