San Diego – California’s Coastal Gem 🇺🇸🌴

#holidayitinerary Where Modern Style Meets Historic Charm After a week of work meetings in the US, we took a 2-day weekend trip from Los Angeles to San Diego, and it completely blew us away! No wonder it’s one of the most expensive housing markets in America—this city has it all: safety, culture, beauty, and vibes. ✨ Must-Visit Highlights • Balboa Park: Gorgeous Spanish-Renaissance architecture, lush gardens, and museums. A top favorite! • Old Town San Diego: A laid-back stroll through Mexican heritage, perfect for food and souvenirs. • La Jolla Cove: Watch sea lions & pelicans in their natural habitat, great sunset views. • Sunset Cliffs: Ideal for an evening ocean walk. • USS Midway Museum: Get up close with a real aircraft carrier! • Coronado Island: Red-roofed Hotel del Coronado, soft sands, and sea views. 🗓 Suggested Itinerary (3D2N) Day 1 – Drive from LA (~3 hrs), visit USS Midway, Balboa Park, and catch the sunset at Sunset Cliffs. Day 2 – Morning in Old Town ➝ Afternoon at La Jolla (including Museum of Contemporary Art) ➝ Sunset at the cove. Day 3 – Morning trip to Coronado Island via the iconic 3.5km bridge. If time allows, stay overnight at the historic Hotel del Coronado. 🏨 Where to Stay Highly recommend InterContinental San Diego – right across from the bay and USS Midway. The 3rd-floor terrace is perfect for a sunset drink with a view of the battleship. ✅ Tips • Safe to walk around late at night (we felt totally secure even after 11pm) • Uber and public transport are convenient, but self-driving is the most flexible • Weather is usually sunny and breezy—bring layers for the ocean wind #californiadreaming #sandiego #usatrip #lajollacove #balboapark #travel #myitinerary #thingstodo
