59 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.

Venture out of the city with trips to La Jolla Zip Zoom (in Pauma Valley), Annie's Canyon Trail (in Solana Beach) and Escondido (Hungry Hawk Vineyards & Winery, BK Cellars Urban Winery & Tasting Lounge, &more). Spend the 19th (Sat) exploring the fascinating underwater world at SeaWorld San Diego. There's much more to do: admire nature's wide array of creatures at San Diego Zoo, get a taste of the local shopping with Gaslamp Quarter, kick back and relax at La Jolla Cove, and don't miss a visit to Redlands Bowl.
