San Diego Zoo

Sunny California's second largest city, San Diego is situated just north of the Mexican border, and just south of Orange County. Featuring miles of beaches and a Mediterranean climate, San Diego is very much a coastal town.

One of the nation's foremost biotech research hubs, the area's scientific community is mainly built around the University of California, San Diego and the affiliated UCSD Medical Centre.

Famous for its many museums, such as the San Diego Museum of Art, and the San Diego Museum of Man, the area is home to many other cultural sites as well. Directed by Jahja Ling, the famous Asian American conductor, the San Diego Symphony performs regularly at Symphony Towers. Furthermore, the San Diego Opera is ranked as one of the top opera companies in the US, making it a must see for any music lover. As far as theatre goes, the Old Globe Theatre at Balboa Park hosts about 15 plays and musicals annually, and is thus a great place to drop by for some evening entertainment.

A maritime city at its core, San Diego also features several historic ship exhibits, including the San Diego Aircraft Carrier Museum, which is built around the USS Midway aircraft carrier.

However, more conventional tourist attractions are also to be found in and around San Diego. From SeaWorld San Diego, to the Belmont amusement park and the famous San Diego Zoo and San Diego Wild Animal Park, there are a lot of destinations for the whole family to enjoy. Comic-Con, and the Street Scene Music Festival are two annual events that you should not miss.

Perhaps one of its most unique attributes, San Diego also has a rich skateboard and surf culture, making it the ideal destination for anyone interested in learning or enjoying either of these past times. Proud of its diverse cuisine, the city also features an abundance of wood fired California-style pizza places, as well as Mexican and East Asian cuisine.

A beautiful, coastal paradise that is steeped in history and culture, San Diego is an excellent getaway no matter what time of year it is. From warm beaches to exciting cultural activities, this is one city that has something for everyone.
