Experience the Excitement of Gaslamp Quarter
The seafaring history of the Gaslamp Quarter sets the stage for vibrant art, music, dive bars, and nightclubs. This unpretentious neighborhood has seen a renaissance in recent years, bringing in a diverse and lively nightlife crowd. Love architecture? You'll find pristine examples of Victorian-era buildings here.
Feel the Buzz in Little Italy
Stroll around Little Italy, popping into shops, grabbing a bite to eat al fresco, and stopping for a sip at one of the many cocktail bars. This walkable neighborhood is known for its weekly Little Italy Mercato Farmers’ Market, old-world piazzas, and the incredible views from Waterfront Park.
Feed Your Soul in Balboa Park
A trip to San Diego calls for a visit to the iconic Balboa Park. This historic oasis in the midst of the city is unbelievable in scale — 1,200 acres of green space and hiking trails, and home to the world-famous San Diego Zoo. For nearly two centuries, it's been the centerpiece of culture in the city, and, today, you'll find restaurants, museums, and theaters at home within its boundaries.
