Walking Tours

Wandering a city's streets and parks gives you insights that are hard to come by any other way -- and the exercise can't be beat, especially under the warm (but usually not unbearably hot) Southern California sun. From the history-heavy Gaslamp Quarter to thriving Balboa Park, San Diego easily lends itself to the long, leisurely stroll. The four walking tours in this chapter will give you a special sense of the city, as well as a look at some of its most appealing sights and structures.
