Things to Do in San Diego
Get your daily dose of vitamin D by strolling the sun-kissed lawns of Balboa Park, one of the nation’s largest urban areas of its kind. There, you’ll find Spanish colonial architecture that will have you dreaming of cold glasses of sangria, and a plethora of museums to quench your intellectual thirst, too. If you decide to further explore San Diego attractions, simply navigate your way to Little Italy. There, you’ll revel in the downtown gem that boasts homemade cannoli, intimate art galleries, and breathtaking views of the city’s harbor. The scenic waterfront may inspire you to visit La Jolla Shores beach. Should you choose to visit “The Jewel” of San Diego, you’ll be able to kayak through ocean caves and observe lounging sea lions and bright orange state fish, Garibaldi—not to mention the array of five-star dining options available just a stone’s throw from the beach. Is it cruel to dine on fresh seafood after swimming with it? We certainly don’t think so.
America’s Finest City is so vibrant and teeming with activity that you’ll never find yourself at a loss for things to do in San Diego. Whether you come during the spring months to frolic amongst Carlsbad’s flower fields or take a winter’s jaunt to sample some of the most innovative craft beer in the nation, reserve a San Diego vacation package to better immerse yourself in the city’s dazzling culture.
