San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter draws San Diegans and visitors alike to its shops and restaurants. On streets filled with beautifully-restored, nineteenth-century buildings, shops such as the Cuban Cigar Factory, Galeria del Sol and Le Travel Store vie for attention.
Today, historic buildings have been relocated to the Gaslamp Quarter from other parts of the city, their nineteenth century architecture restored to its former glory. Restaurants, shops and clubs occupy former brothels and saloons.
The Gaslamp Quarter is a sixteen-square-block area on Broadway and K Streets between Fourth and Sixth Streets. There is a 550-space parking garage at Sixth and Market Streets.
To avoid traffic and parking hassles, take the San Diego Trolley to Gaslamp Station or 5th Avenue Station and walk to the the Gaslamp Quarter.
Liveliest at night, go in the day for the historic tours.
