I am going to San Diego first, then we are going to San Francisco for a few days. I'm going with my boyfriend, but neither of us have ever been to CA, so I'm afraid we might miss out on some great stuff since we won't know where to go. Can anyone give me suggestions? I want to go to as many scenic places as possible, and to some nice beaches, restaurants, parks, etc. Any advice on where to go, park, visit, etc would be appreciated! Also, any advice on some cheap places as well? :) We want to go to nice places, but save some cash whenever possible because this trip is costing a fortune :)I am leaving for California in a couple days, Can anyone give me advice on where to go in San Diego?
San Diego Zoo, then on way north, Universal Studios is best in LA, take the coast up north and see Hearst Castle in San Simeon, go through 17 mile drive and stop in Monterey where the Aquarium rocks! Then head to Fisherman's Wharf and do the Alcatraz Tour in San Francisco. Those are my favorite things on that trip and I have lived here for 20 years.
To the san diego zoo...I am leaving for California in a couple days, Can anyone give me advice on where to go in San Diego?
San Diego zoo. Also next to that is Balboa Park which has lots of fun stuff.
In SF, the whole place is an amusement park.
OOOOOH! GO TO SEA WORLD! AND THE ZOO! And for great food, go to Little Italy. For a more cultural setting, go to Balboa Park....IT'S SO FUN!!!!! It's right next to the Zoo. A fun hotel is the W. HAVE FUN!
The San Diego Zoo is the best. Have Fun
Go out on a fishing boat.
Tijuana is only an hour away.
When headed north go to Universal Studios Theme Park
san diego..........the moon buffet......great place to eat.......but i live in cali so i know really kool places.......first in san fransisco you'll wanna go on a ferry to the Alcatraz. then Fishermans Wharf.maybe chinatown.......then at sunset......the beach. so romantic. talk to me.
San Diego zoo, the Gaslamp Quarter, Seaport Village, Seaworld, Balboa Park. Stay at Motel 6 on Hotel Circle. Take a qucik day trip down to Mexico.
The standard places here are the zoo, the Wild Animal Park and Seaworld. What kind of restaurants are you looking for? There is something for every taste and price. There are several different tours available, Seal tour uses an old amphibious craft and goes on land and on the bay. There is the Harbor Excursion which is pretty cool. You'll want to visit Seaport village and the Embaradero for touristy shopping. If you have any specific questions, just contact me, I'm one of the few native San Diegans left!
Go to the Harbor and get on the Old Town Trolley. It is an on and off tour that can be picked up at 8 different places. It is 2 hours if you stay on and don't get off. It even takes you to Coronado Island. It's worth the ride. They tell you all about San Diego and you get to see a lot of SightsIn Downtown . You will see the Zoo as it is a stop. You can get on and off all day, stopping at the places you want.
I live in California, kind of close to San Francisco. You picked a great time to visit! The weather is really perfect right now. I live more inland, where it's almost 90, but San Francisco will be in the low to mid-70's.
Be sure to visit the Golden Gate bridge, of course. You'll be able to see for miles in this weather. And Fisherman's Wharf. That's always nice. Sausalito is nice too. You get there by crossing the Golden Gate Bridge. If you've never been to Berkeley, that would be a nice cheap sight-seeing trip, just walking around Telegraph Avenue. I grew up in Berkeley. What a trip! Enjoy your visit!
San Diego zoo, Balboa Park, Sea World. On certain days, some of the museums in Balboa park are free. Coronado and La Jolla have the best beaches, I think. For nice restaurant (although pricey), try George's at the Cove or the Marine Room in La Jolla. They have made the Gaslamp area in downtown really nice. Fashion Valley is the best mall in San Diego. Seaport Village can be a fun place to walk around.
You have to visit the San Diego Zoo and SeaWorld. Awesome places to go!! Do not go to legoland. That's the biggest waste of money to mankind. My son hated it and the rides are beyond slow. Also visit the Aircraft Carrier downtown. It's a museum and you get to walk around and see how it feels to be in the Navy. I was on one and when I take people there they can't believe how big it is. Enjoy!!! Lot's of good eating downtown around the Gas lamp district. Also that's were a lot of clubs and bars are to.
While in San Diego, check out the Gaslamp district for lots of eating and shopping choices. We ate at a chic pizza place there called Sammy's. Horton Plaza is a really nice outdoor mall not to far from the Gaslamp district. You can also do a harbor cruise for some breathtaking photo ops of the city skyline, as well as some interesting history. Cross the bridge to Coronado Island and you'll find some nice public beaches. There is also a great ice cream place there called Moo Time Creamery. If you like museums, Balboa Park has every possible museum you'd ever want to go to, plus it's a really nice place to take a walk (or drive). If you have time, take a drive up to La Jolla -- it's postcard beaufiful! Plus there are awesome shopping and dining choices there as well.
