An Amtrak vacation is something you might consider for your next vacation, particularly if that is something you’ve never tried before. Many North American destination cities are easily accessible by train. Getting there can be half the fun on some of the more scenic routes.
San Diego is one of the best-known and most appreciated vacation targets in the country 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. In fact, a lot of the attractions can be enjoyed by walking.
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. So it is safe to assume that you can engage yourself in a week of both relaxation and activity in this harbor 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. It is easy to take the train from San Diego all the way to Union Station in downtown Los Angeles, with maybe ten 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.
