Spark Your Wanderlust in San Diego

San Diego, California

Ignite your San Diego trip with a visit to the historic heart of the city: the Gaslamp Quarter, named for its signature streetlights. Here, nestled in the shadows of nearby skyscrapers, 16 square blocks of Victorian buildings house plentiful cuisine and exciting activities.

If craft beer is your thing, down a pint at one of the city’s 150-plus breweries, or go window-shopping on Fourth and Fifth avenues before your dinner reservation — food is something the Gaslamp does incredibly well, so be sure to get in a meal or two while in the area. We suggest Lionfish Modern Coastal Cuisine for steak and fresh sushi or Osteria Panevino, the Quarter’s oldest restaurant that has certainly stood the test of time.
