San Diego keeps its Spanish and naval past on the waterfront. The Gaslamp Quarter is a grid of Victorian buildings that turned into bars and restaurants, the Embarcadero lines up museum ships along the bay, and Balboa Park holds Spanish revival pavilions, gardens and a zoo in one green block. Old Town, further north, shows where the city started in 1769.
The weather is mild all year, so the main question is sun rather than rain; a hat helps. Distances between districts are longer than they look on the map. Compare all City Games or browse all our destinations to pick your next city.
