Welcome to San Diego

Welcome to San Diego, California's second largest city. Bordered by Mexico, the Pacific Ocean, the Anza-Borrego Desert, and the Laguna Mountains, San Diego County offers a multitude of options for business and pleasure in a climate named "ideal" by meteorologists. Downtown San Diego, with its eclectic Gaslamp Quarter and architecturally stunning Horton Plaza shopping mall, offers over 100 restaurants and clubs – all within walking distance of the San Diego Convention Center. San Diego's other attractions include the world-famous San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park, Sea World San Diego, and LEGOLAND© California.
