San Diego Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia

San Diego – home to gorgeous beaches, funky neighborhoods and old school Californian charm. Check out the coolest sights of the city with our fantastic footage.

Start your #SanDiego #vacation with a stop in Old Town, a historic park filled with buildings dating back to the 1820s. Check out the Gaslamp District, full of Victorian-era architecture and a thriving bar and club scene. Bringing the kids with you, or looking for a more sedate afternoon? Stop by the San Diego Zoo and spend some time with the many animals taking up residence there.

#Explore San Diego’s ties to the sea by touring the U.S.S. Midway, Navy Pier, and Maritime Museum. Across the bay is Coronado, where you can lay out in the sun and soak up some rays in a quiet beach town.

Round out your day with a trip to “the jewel,” better known as La Jolla, and indulge in some of the best seafood and Mexican food you’ll find anywhere. Don’t forget to say “Hi” to the sea lions.

For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

San Diego is really a nice city to live in. It's actually the second biggest city in California. The nice thing about it is that it has the convenience of a large city but the friendliness of a small town.

San Diego Zoo, Seaworld, Legoland, Old Town, Balboa Park and many beaches make San Diego a fine place to live.

My hubby was a career Navy man and we spent 4.5 years in SD, loved it, gorgeous scenery, perfect sunny weather, no need for A/C or even a heater in your home, wonderful beaches, I especially remember the Corvette Diner in Balboa Park. Just wish it wasn't so horrendously expensive home-wise.

I live in downtown San Diego and this video made me misty eyed. I love this city so much. It really is one of the finest cities in America.

San Diego is hands down the best city in California. Beautiful weather. Amazing people. So many things to do! What's not to like about San Diego? I would move there over Los Angeles and San Francisco any day.

The first time I went to San Diego was 3 years ago. I had the time of my life. Ever since then, I've wanted to go back or even move there. This video gave me the feels.

I used to live in San Diego for 8 years. Now I really missed that place because I moved to Phoenix since 2011 because of the house prices. I missed the beaches and architecture of the city. Very beautiful city.

[pntravels]

All the beaches are so pretty came here 1964 live here ever since going to die in San Diego yay! I love you San Diego the finest city in the US.

[IcedCoffee]

I wish I can afford to live there. I am from the SF Bay Area and my family wants to relocate to Las Vegas, NV in a couple years. Even though I wouldn't mind living there temporarily just to save money, I still feel that my heart belongs to California. Hope I could find a better paying job in the future to live in San Diego. It's a nice place.

[nonstop]

Looks like a nice part of the world, I have only been lucky enough to go the United States once before, and came back to England broke, but it was totally worth it for the memories that I made, hopefully one day I will return to the US and see more of what each state has to offer, The United States of America is a great country, and if you love it please defend it, and the Values that America was founded upon.

[Sweetdaddy]

I visit SD for the first time as child and think much about it, but when came back 30 yrs later. Oh my God! I fell in love with the city!! I was born in LA, but I was choose SD over LA any day!!!

[NZCrypT]

Went to San Diego and I have to say it was very clean and seems like a great city to live in.

[Altenholz]
