Top 5: Reasons to Visit San Diego

Balboa Park

This huge green space in the city is made up of 1,200 acres of urban parkland, and it is home to the San Diego Zoo, the San Diego Art Institute, the San Diego Natural History Museum, the Old Globe theater and more. There are plenty of restaurants and the amazing El Prado street. This park is also a great place for outdoor activities.

Food (and Coffee)

The city is no stranger to great food. In Old Town, you will find great Mexican eats while across the city new, awesome restaurants and cafés pop up. You will be able to find anything from a healthy acai bowl for breakfast to a burger with extra fries to enjoy after a day of sightseeing. The city is also home to a flourishing specialty coffee scene.

Beaches

San Diego is the perfect place for a long sunny day spent relaxing on the beach. The city is also well known for surfing, with the best places at Trestles, Oceanside or Swami’s.

A Vibrant Nightlife

San Diego is home to many great bars, clubs and live music venues. There are a good amount of rooftop bars and beachfront bistros perfect for watching the sunset while enjoying a cocktail. Later at night, head to the Gaslamp district to dance the night away.

Attractions and Activities

There is much more to do in San Diego than the park, beaches and nightlife scene. Just a short drive from the city, visit Legoland California. You can catch a baseball game at beautiful Petco Park all summer long. Visit USS Midway, an aircraft carrier that is now retired, but was in service for 47 years.
