Because of the combination of a great climate, excellent beaches and lively neighborhoods, San Diego is an appealing option for a short vacation. The Gaslamp Quarter was a run-down neighborhood in the seventies, but has been beautifully restored afterwards. Nowadays, it's a district with restaurants, hotels and shops. If you think it's a little too touristy, then visit Little Italy, where you will also find many restaurants and shops, but not as many tourists. The beaches - especially north of San Diego – are great. You can also make nice excursions from San Diego through the mountains east of the city and the desert behind.
San Diego has nearly half a million inhabitants. Because the city is on the border with Mexico, the number of Hispanics is large. They are the largest group among the population younger than 18.
San Diego is on the Pacific coast in the most southern part of California and bordering Tijuana, Mexico. The city lies in a hilly region, crossed by the San Diego River, which runs through the city from east to west. East of the city are the Cuyamaca Mountains and the Laguna Mountains, behind which is a desert.
The city's economy revolved for a long time exclusively around the port and especially the naval base. Still, San Diego is home to a large naval fleet, but the decline in defense spending forced the city to investigate other sources of income. These have been found in biotechnology and telecommunications. Qualcomm and Websense are located here. Tourism is very important for the city. Annually, more than thirty million people visit San Diego (this figure includes day trips).
The city's airport is located directly on San Diego Bay, five kilometers north of the center. San Diego International Airport (also known as Lindbergh Airport) is accessible via Interstate 5 (I-5, exit Sassafras), which connects to State Route 163 and the I-8 and I-15. The route to the airport is clearly signposted.
San Diego has a light rail system called the trolleys. These trolleys are composed of three lines (Blue, Orange and Green) and connect Downtown to Santee, Gillespie and San Yisidro (on the Mexican border). Furthermore, there is an extensive bus network. On Sundays there are a lot less buses.
Outside rush hours you can drive around fine in and around San Diego. It's not as crowded as California's largest city Los Angeles. Downtown and along the beaches you have to pay for street parking. It is controlled strictly, therefore make sure that you have paid enough and have enough time. You can also park your car in one of many parking garages. When visiting Gaslamp Quarter we recommend parking at the Park-it-on-Market garage of at the Horton Plaza parking lot.
There is a wide range of accommodations in San Diego. Downtown offers both luxury hotels and friendly prices guesthouses. Along the beaches you will find mostly luxury resorts. Furthermore, you can stay at a beach house; most of which are located along Mission Beach and Pacific Beach. Motels are scattered around the city with a higher concentration near Hotel Circle in Mission Valley.
