Diego Art & Sol |
| San
Diego is poised to curb any cultural craving. Spend the day at
lush 1,200-acre Balboa Park, one of the nation’s largest
cultural complexes and home to the largest concentration of
museums west of the Mississippi. Browse the spectacular array of
fine art, science and natural history, aerospace, photography,
model railroads, automobiles and performing arts. Plan a picnic
near one of the Park’s many botanical gardens or
arboretums. And don’t miss the old-world Mexican
architecture that shapes many of the charming neighborhoods and
shopping districts. |

| Shopping |

Seaport Village |
San
Diego’s world-class shopping is as varied as its weather is
ideal. Expect 72-degree perfection, even in the midst of a
“must-have” moment because most shopping venues are outdoors.
Start the spree downtown in the Gaslamp Quarter and its
neighboring architectural wonder, Horton Plaza. Take your bags to
Fashion Valley, Mission Valley or La Jolla for national department
stores as well as stores unique to San Diego. Carlsbad and Viejas’
outlet centers offer a needed refrain for wallets. Round out your
new collection with a trip to Old Town’s
eclectic, Mexican-flavored boutiques and jewelry stores.
It’s in the bag.
