Pros: Free, educational, ample public restrooms Cons: Not stroller friendly, not enough explanation of historical displays
We visited Old Town in San Diego in August 2005. We have been to San Diego numerous times but had somehow never made it to this side of town. Old Town's claim to fame is that it is the first settlement in California, that is right after California ...
Pros: Jalapenos, Mariachis, and HUGE Margaritas! Cons: Gets crowded, parking is tight
Thinking about having dinner or lunch in one of the many Mexican restaurants around San Diego's Old Town area? Lots of people -- tourists and locals alike -- come to Old Town more for the food (or for gift shopping) than for the historic attractions....
Pros: Free entrance and easy accessibility from the freeway Cons: The past has somehow been lost among the recreations
First a disclaimer.
I'm a historical site lover. Some of my favorite moments on this planet have been visiting historical sites. The Alamo, The Hermitage, Mystic, Gettysburg, Mesa Verde and on and on. Each of those visits moved me...made...
Pros: great for a large group/birthday celebration Cons: parking is difficult;crowded on weekends
Living in San Diego, I have the pleasure of enjoying an area that is rich in the tradition of early California. One location that has strived to maintain that atmosphere is Old Town, located at San Diego Avenue & Twiggs St., just east of San Diego...
Pros: Lots to do. Great shopping, great food. Cons: Parking a problem at times, and some things are hidden.
A Modern Throwback:
Conveniently located just a few miles north of the city at the junction of the I-5 and I-8, Old Town is like an out of date anachronism. The thoroughly modern Bazaar del Mundo sits next to the original county courthouse,...
Old Town may be old, but it is far from boring! I was pleasantly surpised at all the shops that are located there. This is a place worth visiting if you are ever in San Diego!
Pros: Historical, educational, fun, good for exploring Cons: A lot of walking, things are spread out, some of the 'good stuff' is hard to find
This epinion was spurred by reading the popular epinion by bonies7 entitled 'Cold Town......Old Town'. I was saddened to find that he thought so little of one of our attractions here in San Diego.
Pros: Fun, Historical, Relaxing Cons: Sometimes Too Many People
I know what you're going to say, "It's no fair! You already live there!" Well, not really, not in Old Town. I'd LOVE to live in Old Town, or even in the hills above it. *sigh* It's one of the most beautiful parts of the city of San Diego if...
Pros: Hmmmmm...... Cons: Confusing, not worth the money
I'll start out by saying that I was extremely disappointed by my visit to the Whaley House. If you're not familiar with what the Whaley house is, well, you're in the same boat as me then. From what I've heard, it's one of the few houses that are...
Pros: Charming Mexican atmosphere! Cons: Could be made bigger
While I don't know how authentic Old Town is, I do know that anyone who goes there will leave savoring the Mexican experience they just had! The entire plaza is softly lit up at night, the smells of delicious Mexican food is in the air, the sounds of...
Pros: FREE walking opportunities park setting recreations and reconstructions of the old buying opportunities small child friendly educational Cons: open to anyone including vagrants. semi-expensive food. Park not impecably clean.
This is a must if visiting San Diego. Near the trolley station, coaster, and public bus service and accessible to freeway I-5 and Int. 8. Centrally located to other points of interest like Cabrillo, Sea World, excavations just above ...
Pros: Great food and a very nice atmosphere. Cons: None that I have found
I have visited San Diego many times. Recently my sister and I went down for a 3 day getaway. We live in central California. One stop I always make is Old Town. It is a nice way to spend a couple of hours in an historical atmosphere. There is a...
