San Diego is one of those cities that is interesting for about three days. It is near some beautiful beaches, it has a revitalized downtown area with cultural attractions, there are loads of sailors who live there and can be fun to stare at for a few minutes, and there is, of course, the world famous San Diego Zoo. If that weren’t enough, it is not very far from Mexico and there are some mountains within driving distance too. Oh, and the weather there ranges from perfect to perfect.

Ok, maybe three days isn’t enough to do all that, but it a start. It also is the minimum length stay as part of a phenomenal package deal put together by our friends at Priceline.

San Diego, the beautiful city by the Pacific Ocean, about two hours south of Los Angeles, has arguably the best climate in the U.S. and a healthy, laid-back attitude too. It has a great ethnic and cultural mix, and its close proximity to Mexico – Tijuana is less than 20 miles away – makes for great Mexican cafes and restaurants.

Food lovers can find excellent Latin, Central and East Asian, Middle Eastern, Italian, Greek, and Pacific Islander food throughout the city. Pick up the scent in the Gaslamp Quarter, Little Italy, La Jolla and Old Town.

The beaches, climate and deserts are not the only things on offer. San Diego has several world-class attractions including Balboa Park, America’s largest urban cultural park, which has more than a dozen museums as well as the world-famous San Diego Zoo.

Cheap Flights to California

A quick summary of California is difficult. Its variety and diversity—even its weather—are more extreme than most states. “Extreme” could sum up California: Northern and Southern Californians each claim to be a different, and separate, state; the north has old redwood forests and towns almost too small to put on a map; the south has glitz, glamour, and Hollywood stars too big to put on a map.

The common thread through California is diversity. Geographically, the state has redwood forests, the rich and fertile Central Valley, the peaks of the Sierra Nevada, deserts, and hundreds of miles of coastline. California continues to produce a wealth of creativity in both the arts and sciences, and is home to some of the leading universities in the world. Movie stars abound in LA, as do rollerblading hotties in Venice Beach, and engineers in Silicon Valley. The state is home to world-renowned cities, and people of all racial and ethnic backgrounds continue to migrate to and settle in California.
