San Diego travel tips
Where are the best shops and restaurants in San Diego?
Gaslamp is one of the most popular neighborhoods in San Diego as it is home to all the shops, best restaurants, and shopping malls. The quarter was built in 1850 and, for some time, had the glory of a brothel. However, this Victorian quarter was then cleaned up and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Do I need to rent a car in San Diego?
Renting a car in San Diego is a nice option only for those tourists who are going to travel a lot in the surrounding area (for example, to Legoland). Moving around the city by car is quite difficult due to traffic jams and paid parking.
Ready to bet on your favourite horse at the San Diego races?
Going to the races is a must-do in San Diego. Head to Surfside Race Place, and be sure to bet on your favourite horse! The events are held here from Thursday to Sunday every week. Stay responsible!
