CALIFORNIA'S BIRTHPLACE
Step back in time to a colorful world of fun and entertainment in beautiful Historic Old Town San Diego.

Today, Old Town offers more than 150 shops, award-winning restaurants, 17 museums, and historic sites, all just a short walk from the San Diego Trolley Transit Center. Historic landmarks at Old Town include Mason Street School, the
first public schoolhouse in San Diego, and Casa de Estudillo, a Spanish adobe house with a beautiful courtyard. Within the park is Fiesta De
Reyes, a vibrant and exciting establishment. Here you’ll find shops and restaurants inspired by 19th century pueblo life, with live music and dancing several days of the week! (616) 297-3100
