5 days in San Diego Itinerary

Divided into neighborhoods with distinct characters and cultural heritages, San Diego sits just north of the Mexican border and offers visitors a blend of tourist attractions, including a lively nightlife, diverse cuisine, and a thriving musical scene.

Visit Mormon Battalion Historic Site and Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial for their historical value. Visiting Del Mar City Beach and Mission Beach Boardwalk will get you outdoors. Explore San Diego's surroundings by going to South Carlsbad State Beach (in Carlsbad) and Oceanside Pier (in Oceanside). There's still lots to do: see the interesting displays at USS Midway Museum, kick back and relax at Children's Pool, tour the pleasant surroundings at Coronado Beach, and get some thrills out on the water with a waterskiing or jet-skiing adventure.
