Wander from the turn-of-the-20th-century Gaslamp Quarter to the joyful, modern architecture of the Horton Plaza shopping center. Adjacent to the Gaslamp is East Village, which thanks to the opening of PETCO Park in 2004, has extended downtown a few blocks further east.
Seaport Village is a shopping and dining complex on the waterfront. It was designed to look like a New England seaport community. If you find the views across the water alluring, another way to experience San Diego's waterfront is with one of several harbor tours.
