I had a great time visiting the old town area. Lots of free museums and markets to check out and close to public transit. There was a lot of mexican souvenir shops and artisans, as well as niche shops including a mineral/gem store.
Posted: June 29, 2024The beaches, parks, San Diego Zoo, and art museum, were all incredible! So was Coronado Island, where we rented bikes to see the sights. Great, reasonably priced food is everywhere, as long as you know how to look. We used a rental car to get around town, and were able to drive around downtown during Comic Con. A truly incredible experience, so glad I got to spend it with my sister and father!

San Diego is a big city where there’s always events going on so there’s always something to do. I would feel less safe alone in downtown given the homeless population there. Public transport is reliable
Posted: November 23, 2024San Diego is a big place and so safety definitely varies depending on where you are. The main tourist areas near the ocean and along the waterfront downtown are generally pretty safe. During the day, I feel fine doing things alone. Uber/Lyft are plenty and public transport is there, but slow and sparse. Use basic travel smarts (lock your car, keep valuables stowed where people can't see them, keep your phone charged should you need to look up alternative routes/plans for getting around).
