What are top San Diego attractions?

What is worth seeing in San Diego? (besides the major attractions)?

  • What is worth seeing in San Diego? - Balboa Park - Belmont Park - S.D. Downtown - Seaport Village - Star of India - Old Town San Diego **I am staying in Balboa Park area

  • Answer:

    1. Balboa Park - This is a great park with beautiful gardens and lots of museums and other attractions. Take advantage of the free park bus that drives throughout the park. The driver is very knowledgeable about the park. 2. Coronado Island - You can drive to Coronado or take the ferry from downtown...cost $3 each way for the 15 min. ride. Nice beach here, lots of upscale shops, and the historic Hotel Del Webb. 3. La Jolla - An upscale community about 15 minutes north of downtown San Diego. Beautiful beaches...kayak through the 7 caves...It's an awesome trip Drive to the top of Mt. Soledad for fantastic views. 4. Enjoy a dessert at Extraordinary Desserts on 5th Avenue near Balboa Park. 5. Go wine tasting in Julian and Ramona....or the area around Escondido. 6. Eat at a restaurant in Old Town. My favorite is Cafe Coyote...and stroll the historic streets. Presidio Park (next door to Old Town) is a beautiful park. Tip: If you don't want to drive, there is a double decker bus that drives around to many of these (and other stops). You can buy a ticket that is good for on and off privleges for 2 days.

La Jolla Cove (see the seals, walk by the ocean, go down to the cave, have lunch or brunch at La Valencia Hotel) Balboa Park instead of downtown I'd go to the Gaslamp part of downtown at nite boardwalk in Pacific Beach--rent a beach cruiser, or skate I'd probably skip Belmont Park after Old Town, go eat at Point Loma Seafood in Point Loma--really fresh fish, all kinds--great atmosphere If you're staying in Balboa Park area, eat at Arrivaderci on Fifth--just the most amazing Italian food ever. Try the 4 cheese gnocchi Downtown has Horton Plaza, but I prefer Fashion Valley You're not too far from Phil's Barbecue--a SD tradition YUM! Seaport Village is cute but a little touristy If you want a splurgy decadent meal, Pamplemousse Grille in Del Mar Or if you want to eat with the surfers, Potato Shack in Encinitas Any restaurant in Del Mar on the water is great for the sunsets and the food is pretty consistent Welcome to my town, and have a wonderful time!!
