5 days in San Diego Itinerary

Divided into neighborhoods with distinct characters and cultural heritages, San Diego sits just north of the Mexican border and offers visitors a blend of tourist attractions, including a lively nightlife, diverse cuisine, and a thriving musical scene.

Satisfy your inner culture vulture at Oceanside Pier and Old Point Loma Lighthouse. Popular historic sites such as Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial and Point Loma are in your itinerary. There's much more to do: take in the waterfront at Seaport Village, contemplate the long history of Mormon Battalion Historic Site, enjoy the sand and surf at La Jolla Shores Park, and see the interesting displays at USS Midway Museum.

In October, plan for daily highs up to 78°F, and evening lows to 64°F. Finish your sightseeing early on the 22nd (Mon) to allow enough time to travel back home.
