San Diego

California’s second largest city, San Diego benefits from a unique mix of cultures; with Mexico close to the south and the Pacific Ocean nestled to the west. Easy to get to, and beautiful all year round, San Diego may not be the first place you think of when someone mentions California, but it should certainly be at the top of the list.

Visit Old Town for a bit of Californian culture, or the Gaslamp Quarter for nightlife. A range of stunning beaches offer something for everyone, whilst Hillcrest is the area to head to for boutique souvenir shopping. Beer lovers can rejoice in the knowledge that there are vast numbers of breweries in the county, and a trip could be considered incomplete without a visit to a nearby speakeasy or rooftop bar.

If you run out of things to experience (you won’t), why not cross the border to Mexico and spend a day there? Few cities offer such an opportunity, and nearby Tijuana is an excellent destination for a Mexican day trip. Speak to our teams for more info.
