About San Diego
City overview
San Diego is the Southern California border city where San Diego Bay, Balboa Park mesas, Pacific beaches, and the Tijuana crossing make a compact but varied visitor map. Gaslamp Quarter, Balboa Park, La Jolla, Coronado, Old Town, North Park, and Little Italy cover the range from museums and tacos to surf breaks and harbor walks.
Food & drink
San Diego food is coastal and border-influenced: fish tacos fold fried or grilled fish into tortillas with cabbage and sauce, California burritos add fries to carne asada, carne asada fries pile steak and toppings over fries, and ceviche and uni show the seafood side. Little Italy Mercato, Liberty Public Market, Convoy District, Barrio Logan, North Park breweries, and La Jolla seafood spots add craft beer, wood-fired pizza, and Baja-style counters.

1Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve

2San Diego Zoo
4.7★ · 65,998outdoorOpen dailyThe zoo began after the 1915 exposition and opened in Balboa Park in 1916, growing into one of the world's best-known zoological institutions. Its canyons, aviaries, panda history, koalas, and large habitats require a full half-day or more.

3Coronado and Hotel del Coronado
4.5★ · 20,842outdoorThe Hotel del Coronado opened in 1888 as a wooden seaside resort and still anchors Coronado Beach. The bridge, ferry landing, Orange Avenue, and broad sand make Coronado one of the easiest bay-and-beach days.
