IT SURE takes something special to be the uncontested ‘finest city’ of America. San Diego has everything America has to offer: From beaches and beer to sight-seeing and exquisite luxury experiences, it all resides here.
From its beginnings as a US naval base, to its surviving the great depression, and finally its coming-of-age in the second half of the 20th century, the city has its history written not only in museums but also on every street corner — through a culture that exudes positivity and a happier outlook to life.
It’s no wonder that many choose San Diego to form their first impressions of the USA. The fact that it packs so many things to do makes a week-long stay here seem too short. It’s got something to refresh every palate, from the relaxed sacking-out kind to the adventurous backpackers.
Mission Basilica San Diego de Alcalá: History buffs and romantics alike are often overcome with awe in the heart of the bustling streets of San Diego. As a city that has taken leaps in terms of development, the vivid influences of the land are reminiscent of its rich history. You can visit Mission Basilica San Diego de Alcalá to discover how the Spaniards founded the serene structure back in 1769 or the Whaley House Museum in Old Town to chance upon an appearance of San Diego’s famous ghosts. (There are guarantees of apparitions here).
USS Midway: There’s nothing like a maritime museum aboard the erstwhile USS Midway, once the longest aircraft carrier, which is now a full-fledged museum. Do go for the guided tour and a package that takes care of your breakfast and dinner out because it’s truly unmissable.
