Plan a Trip to San Diego

While San Diego is full of activities and attractions, it’s not all that large. There are many areas you can explore just by walking through them, so you don’t have to worry about traffic, driving or the hassle of parking.

One especially walkable area is Balboa Park and the nearby neighborhoods of Downtown San Diego which include the Gaslamp Quarter, Embarcadero and Harborview, located on the San Diego Bay.

Stroll through the Balboa Park, visit one of its educational museums, stop by the world-famous San Diego Zoo, have lunch at a sidewalk café in Bankers Hill, immerse yourself in the history and architecture of the Gaslamp Quarter and learn about the city’s naval history at the USS Midway Museum in the Embarcadero.

With so much to do in such a small area, San Diego will prove to be the perfect vacation destination for you and your family!
