1 July 2016

If you’re ever traveling or touring the USA, there are certain cities that are essential stops for those with a passion for travel. There is no doubt that New York and Vegas are high up on the list for most people. But there are several others that shouldn’t be missed. San Francisco is one of the most interesting places to visit for a great community spirit and nightlife. And New Orleans cannot be missed if you’re a muso. However, San Diego is one of the most fun-filled places you can find in the United States. It’s quite possibly got everything you might be looking for on your next American adventure.

If you visit San Diego, you can’t miss Balboa Park. This is the home of the world-famous San Diego Zoo. It is here that you will find endangered species being looked after. There are essential breeding programs taking place to avoid extinctions. There are plenty of things to see here, and the zoo is very accessible and informative. It is also very close to some of the most interesting art galleries in the region, and a beautiful garden to enjoy.


The city is home to a big naval port too. The USS Midway is one of the better aircraft carrier museums you will find on this planet. There are plenty of things to do whether you have kids with you or not. As you’re on the Pacific coast, the walks along the beaches will be mild and warm most of the year round. And if you love a little bit of sunbathing, San Diego can happily oblige.

Lots of gap year students choose San Diego as one of their preferred cities to work or play. There certainly is a young vibe here, and the nightlife is easily as good as places like New York or Los Angeles. But what really drives the young people here is the huge variety of events and festivals. The infamous San Diego Comic Con is certainly one of the most popular reasons for coming to town. Of course, the weather is a great reason for staying!


Baseball is big in the city. If you’ve never been a fan, there’s a chance that attending a game here could convert you into one. There’s a great spirit here, and many families come here as part of their quality time together. In fact, San Diego could be considered one of the most family friendly places to visit. It doesn’t matter what age you are, there is plenty to do and enjoy here.

For those that love to be active, the San Diego mountains won’t disappoint. Take a hike alone, or sign up for a walking tour. You could even try out some climbing or camping expeditions. The fittest of the fit even take their mountain bikes along some of the popular trails. How you enjoy this region is up to you, but you won’t be disappointed. When the day is done, and you need a great meal, you can’t go wrong in the Gaslamp Quarter for beers, cocktails, and amazing restaurants.
