San Diego travel tips
Do you want to see the 600-year-old Inca Goblet in San Diego?
Head to the San Diego Museum of Us, which is housed in four beautiful Spanish colonial-style buildings. Here you will learn about pre-Columbian American history, Native American culture, and Mesoamerican civilizations such as the Maya. One exhibit deserves special attention — a massive golden beer goblet that belonged to the Inca king about 600 years ago. The admission is just $20.
Do you smoke? Pay attention to signs in San Diego
Watch out for prohibition signs in San Diego. You can smoke there only in specially designated places. For smoking other than at designated smoking points, the police can hand you out a fine of up to $250 (for example, for smoking in a hotel).
