It's one of the best and most popular ways to see the city.

For those seeking more thrill, check out San Diego's High Adventure Tours. Fly with a water-powered jet pack, pilot a glider plane or get behind the wheel of a high-powered speed boat. Bookings include accommodation, meals and transport.

San Diego has one, if not the most vibrant and colourful nightlife scene on the West Coast. In Downtown's lively Gaslamp Quarter, you’ll find nightclubs filled with atmosphere, top music and friendly clubbers dancing the night away. Enjoy carefully crafted cocktails at one of the many rooftop bars, or sample some local wine at the contemporary jazz clubs. Most venues have live music performances and stage shows, so you’ll find yourself out on the town from dusk until dawn.

San Diego has been recognised for its expertly crafted beer worldwide, but don't just take our word for it. Take a trip around an actual real-life brewery, or better yet, head out on a beer tour and sample some of the finest beverages this city offers. If you can't fit a tour into your busy schedule, don't worry. There are plenty of bars and restaurants serving the local pints, so you won't have to miss out.

Food in San Diego sits at a delicious culinary crossing between California and Mexico. You'll find restaurants serving the best fish tacos you've ever tasted to burger bars dishing out the most mouth-watering patties. Whether you’re in the mood for fancy food or just looking to have a hearty meal with the family, America's Finest City has it all.

During September, San Diego’s weather is at its best, with temperatures averaging around 25°C. The ocean is warm, the crowds are few, and there is very little chance of rainfall. However, with temperatures remaining warm and pleasant all year round, even during the winter when temperatures average around 19°C, San Diego is the perfect sun, sea and sand destination all year round.
