Gaslamp Quarter

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.

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!

The birthplace of California. In 1769, Spanish explorers set up camp in Presidio Park, firing the starting pistol on California’s colonization.

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.

There is so much to do in San Diego.
July 4, 2022
There is so much to do in San Diego. We walked the streets and stopped in a number of restaurants and small shops. The food is fantastic. The waterfront has much to offer for couples and families. We went on the trolley tours and a brunch cruise.
The overall environment of San Diego is great.

The overall environment of San Diego is great. It is a nice place for families with a lot of activities to do. Like SeaWorld, the San Diego Zoo, USS Midway, Sesame Street water park, amongst others. We particularly liked Coronado and La Jolla. The only thing we noticed this time around was that there were a lot more homeless people as well as junkies. But still felt like a safe place to be in.
We enjoyed our time in San Diego.

Our Sea World experience was pretty good despite the long line at the entrance. I highly recommend arriving at opening and purchasing the $99 a day tickets that include food. Be advised that any interactive animal experiences are extra. I really enjoyed our trolley tour the next day! I highly recommend this! You really learn about historic San Diego and get to see many highlights of the city. You can get on or off at any stop and see sights such as museums, historic hotels and great shopping. You also will get discounts on restaurants and attractions such as the children's interactive museum.

A beautiful city but unfortunately is going downhill in my opinion....prices up quality down... Turning into another LA like tent City for the homeless.... They should stop charging for parking your car; only deters you from going there and I believe it hurts the businesses....
