This guide is meant to serve as a neighborhood guide. Individual attractions in the Old Town may be covered in other attraction listings on TripHobo.
Located next to what was the first European settlement in San Diego, the park is one of the most visited tourist attractions in the city. Preserved here are many historical buildings from Old San Diego's 19th century Mexican and American periods.
Visitors may explore five old adobe houses, San Diego's first newspaper office, and various stores. The carriage collection is highly appreciated. There are almost a dozen museums inside the buildings for you to check out, including the Wells Fargo Museum, and the Whaley House, which is said to be one of the most haunted buildings in the country. Staff at the park frequently conduct historical tours.
The park also sees many visitors returning to check out its extensive number of Mexican restaurants, which serve some terrific food. These include the Old Town Tequila Factory, Taste of Old Town, and A New Place to Hang Out.
There are many shops to check out too - Cousin's Candy, Toby's Candle Shop, Johnson House, Alvarado Provisions, the Old Town Market Place, and the Bazaar Del Mundo.
It can take more than one or two days to cover all of this utterly charming neighborhood, so there are hotels for you to stay at.
