Highlights
Why it works here
San Diego's spread-out layout has walkable pockets connected by drives. Wexplo activates in each district — narrating the 1915 Exposition that created Balboa Park, the naval history along the Embarcadero, and the Spanish mission origins in Old Town.
Year-round, but September to November for the warmest ocean temperatures.

Compact center — everything on foot
