  • Free full-color, foldout map
  • Completely updated every year
  • Insider advice on avoiding the crowds as you explore some of San Diego's most popular attractions, from the world-famous animal parks to the many museums of Balboa Park. There's a whole chapter of walking tours, and several cool side trips, ranging from soaking up Knott's Berry Farm to heading south of the border to Tijuana.
  • Where to find the best cuisine, including the best of San Diego's traditionally fabulous Mexican restaurants; the fresh, fresh seafood; and the latest outposts of the "farm to table" movement; along with a blow-by-blow (or brew by brew) analysis of the vaunted beer scene.
  • Insightful commentary on San Diego's arts scene, from museums, to the theatrical and musical highlights, as well as the wide-ranging nightlife, music, comedy and club scene, including a rundown of GLBT nightlife.
  • Opinionated reviews. No bland descriptions and lukewarm recommendations. Our expert writers are passionate about their destinations--they tell it like it is in an engaging and helpful way.
  • Exact prices listed for every establishment and activity--no other guides offer such detailed, candid reviews of hotels and restaurants. We include the very best, but also emphasize moderately priced choices for real people.
  • User-friendly features including star ratings and special icons to point readers to great finds, excellent values, insider tips, best bets for kids, special moments, and overrated experiences.
