Your next San Diego Vacation will be filled with many memories
Set around a gracefully curving bay, relatively free from smog and Byzantine freeways, sits the beautiful city of San Diego. Although it was the site of the first mission in California, the city only really took off with the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad in the 1880s, and in terms of trade and significance it has long been in the shadow of Los Angeles. Even in the shadow of Los Angeles, San Diego tourism has something for everyone. Plan out your next trip with one of the many San Diego Vacation Packages or create your own vacation.
With all that San Diego has to offer, your next San Diego Vacation will be filled with many memories. For the art lovers, San Diego, features Balboa Park. Get the feeling of an “old Spanish city.” You’ll find various architecture styles of Spanish Colonial Renaissance and Gothic & Moorish. Balboa Park is not only for the art lovers but it is also home to the San Diego Zoo, home to over 4.000 animals. Hillcrest also sits on the edge of Balboa Park with its stylish, friendly, unique neighborhood of theaters, vintage shops, and cafes.

If you love to be by the beach, there are San Diego Vacation Rentals that line the boardwalk. A great place for July 4th!

Or enjoy your trip by planning one of the San Diego Vacation Packages that allows you to visit the many tours, attractions and sights to see in San Diego, California.
Spanish influences remain to this day, especially as San Diego is only an hour’s drive from the U.S.-Mexico border. The evidence of this connection to its Hispanic heritage is everywhere, although most prominently noted in cross-border “fiestas” or festivals, such as the Cinco de Mayo day festivities, the Latino Film Festival and the San Diego International Film Festival. Yet this city, which attributes its modest beginnings to the efforts of a single Spanish monk, is not a single city but a patchwork of cultures, neighborhoods and unique communities –- the embodiment of the American melting pot.
