📍 Destination Overview
San Diego, in southern California near the Mexican border, is famed for its near-perfect climate. Balboa Park's Spanish Colonial Revival architecture and world-class zoo are city icons, while the USS Midway museum honours America's naval heritage. La Jolla's beaches afford close-up seal sightings, and Old Town and the Gaslamp Quarter brim with Mexican flavour, craft beer and tacos.
