Step into California’s early days at Old Town San Diego, a living history park celebrated by Condé Nast Traveler and the Michelin Green Guide. This vibrant district preserves 19th-century adobe buildings, museums, and family-run eateries serving authentic Mexican and Californio cuisine. Live music, local artisans, and historical reenactments bring the area to life. Strolling these plazas, you’ll get a genuine sense of San Diego’s multicultural roots and a chance to support independent craftspeople and chefs still shaping the neighborhood’s character.
