Whether you choose to take a tour or simply stroll around its lush trails and gardens, you won't run out of things to discover in Balboa Park.
Welcome to Gaslamp Quarter, the historic heart of San Diego. Explore its 16 square blocks where modern architecture and Victorian-age buildings stand side-by-side. Enjoy its parks and museums by day, and vibrant nightlife by night. Complete the experience by grabbing a bite in the countless variety of restaurants from around the globe you'll find in the area, giving you a true California urban experience.
