Since there are currently very interesting deals on flights to San Diego, and SD is always in the shadow of its more popular siblings San Francisco and Los Angeles, we decided to compile the Top 10 pictures of the gorgeous Southern California city.
San Diego is one of the sunniest cities in North America. That alone is reason enough to head to America’s Finest City as it likes to be called. Furthermore, SD has such a different vibe than other Californian cities. So take advantage of the low prices and go see the following sights.
I stumbled upon this great collection of photos by an artist named Frankie, on his site Frankie Foto where you can see even more stunning shots.
So here’s the Top 10. Tell us in the comments which one you prefer!

4. Surfing
Waves, warm weather: needless to say SD is a surfer’s paradise. Photo Credit: Frankie Foto
5. Rocky Coast
In case you don’t want sand all over you, these rocks are a great spot to see the sunset over the ocean. Photo Credit: Frankie Foto
6. The History
Many consider San Diego the birthplace of California and there are a lot of reminders from the Mexican colonial era. Photo Credit: Frankie Foto
7. Sunsets
It would be just wrong to have a Top 10 of San Diego without the iconic sunset. Photo Credit: Frankie Foto
8. Nature

9. Downtown
As one of the USA’s largest cities, San Diego has a vibrant downtown area surrounded by marinas, palm trees and with a gorgeous mountainous backdrop. Photo Credit: Frankie Foto
10. Rail Along the Ocean
Want to have an incredible view and a fun day trip to La-La-Land? Los Angeles is just a short (and unique) train ride away, along the Pacific Ocean aboard the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner. Photo Credit: Frankie Foto
Bonus: The Dunes
Again with the ocean view, I know. You’re starting to see my preferences. But honestly, isn’t this so much more beautiful than a standard beach? Photo Credit: Frankie Foto
Bottom Line
San Diego has no reason to envy its more popular Northern neighbours. The beauty of SD is that on a trip there you can also plan a roadtrip to LA or walk across the world’s busiest border crossing and arrive directly into the city of Tijuana, Mexico.
