Travel By Amtrak to San Diego To Enjoy A Leisurely Vacation
If you have not traveled by Amtrak for a vacation, perhaps it is time to to give it some consideration. Many North American destination cities are easily accessible by train. Getting there can be half the fun on some of the more scenic routes.
One of the most popular vacation destinations is San Diego. It is easy to take a train to the historic station and then use public transit for getting around locally. Compared to other parts of Southern California, San Diego is actually relatively close together. You can even get around to a lot of vacation attractions by walking if you enjoy that.
San Diego is really loaded with interesting places to visit. You could really spend weeks at all the museums, historical places of interest, beaches, theme parks and other attractions. There certainly would be no problem filling a busy week of vacation in this beach-oriented city. The weather in the summer is particularly appealing, with a moderate sea breeze cooling things off.
If you wanted to extend your vacation, it is possible to continue the train travel up to the Los Angeles area, and beyond that up the West Coast. AmTrak runs from the downtown San Diego station to downtown Los Angeles Union Station with a few stops in between. By doing any of the above, it would be reasonable to engage in a one- or two-week vacation without using a car.
Of course, traveling by train could add 3-4 days to the overall vacation schedule but that could be part of the charm if you have the right attitude.
