San Diego Made Easy: Sights and shopping​, hotels and restaurants, day trips and nightlife in “America’s Finest City”
​

We couldn’t think of one good reason to visit laid-back San Diego. Or just one, at least. For instance:

The weather is practically perfect. Then you have beautiful Balboa Park, with its many museums, gardens, art galleries, performance spaces—and the world-famous, spectacular San Diego Zoo—to consider. There’s snorkeling in La Jolla Cove, and hiking far above the breathtaking coastline. Feel like feeding the dolphins at SeaWorld? Or how about a lazy day at the beach, followed by a night on the town? 
​

So that’s the dilemma: There are so many things to see and do in San Diego that it might seem overwhelming. But this concise little pocket guide—including insider tips on restaurants, cafes, and shops—will help you plan your trip with confidence. However short your stay, it’s all you’ll need to make your visit enjoyable, memorable… and easy!
