Pass the Maritime Museum, USS Midway, Gaslamp Quarter and Petco Park, then follow your GoCar among the park's Spanish Colonial Revival buildings, gardens and museums.

The route moves naturally from San Diego waterfront through Petco Park to Gardens and museum district, revealing a different side of San Diego as the drive unfolds. It is a strong choice for first-time visitors who want the essential city, with GPS-guided stories and the freedom to pause for photos or explore at your own pace.
