San Diego travel tips
Photograph the curved Coronado Bridge in San Diego
The long curved bridge across the bay is the hallmark of San Diego. The bridge connects the city and the island of Coronado. The structure was built by Robert Mosher, a modernist architect, in 1969. The bridge is characterized by a bend of 80 degrees — this was necessary so that aircraft carriers could sail under it.
Stay at a San Diego hotel where Brad Pitt, Charlie Chaplin, and the British king once stayed
Hotel del Coronado, which looks like a fairytale castle, was opened in 1888. At that time, it was one of the most technically equipped hotels in the world. You can select a room where the presidents of the United States, the English king Edward VIII, Charlie Chaplin, Brad Pitt have stayed, or perhaps even meet Madonna at breakfast. The cost of 1 night in the hotel starts from $400, but you can also just come here for photos.
Marvel at the stars in a national park near San Diego
There is only one national park near San Diego – Joshua Tree (the distance is 260 km or a 3-hours ride by car). Nature lovers will love to wander among the quirky Joshua trees, gaze at the stars, and head back to San Diego or the luxurious Palm Springs resort for the night.
