Old Town San Diego State Historic Park

Old Town is a historical part of San Diego located in the heart of the city. With a variety of events, festivals, theater and amazing restaurants this is definitely one of our top recommendations.

And if you are looking for an extra thrill, you can visit the Whaley House, named the #1 haunted house in the USA.

Maritime Museum

Known for one of the largest collections of historic sea vessels in the USA, the Maritime Museum is a joy to visit for any ship lover. The museum is lucky enough to be the location of the 1863 Star of India, a full-rigged iron windjammer ship.
