Places to Walk in San Diego

Discovering Old San Diego on Foot

In the warm summer months, there is nothing better than walking through the old neighborhoods adjacent to Downtown San Diego.

Start in Hillcrest with a treat at Extraordinary Desserts, make your way to Bankers Hill to explore restored historical homes and continue on to appreciate the many gardens of Balboa Park with a stop at the world-famous San Diego Zoo.

After a visit with the pandas, the journey continues to Seaport Village and a walk along the waterfront with panoramic harbor views. If you still have time, catch a Padres game at Petco Park and end the day with a craft beer from a local brewery in the Gaslamp Quarter.
