Balboa Park is an urban cultural park that is home to various museums, restaurants, shops, and more. Its a great place to see a more historical side of San Diego or to relax with a nice picnic. With the San Diego Zoo next door, its a great place to unwind after seeing tons of animals.
Liberty Station is another historical location that was previously a Naval Training Center. It has transformed into a hub featuring shopping, dining, art, entertainment, and more. A great place to enjoy good food and company that is also very dog friendly :).
For those of you who still have the energy to enjoy the nightlife, the San Diego Gaslamp District in Downtown is the place for you! There are numerous dining choices from quick bites to fine dining. Entertainment options may vary from live music, comedy shows, or even kicking back at a cigar lounge. A fun area to enjoy some drinks with friends.
