Tips in this Tour:
San Diego is sunny year round. Don’t forget your sunscreen!
A fun way to get from San Diego's Little Italy to the Gaslamp District is by a bicycle taxi. Or travel like a local and take the Blue Line Trolley (the one that says Old Town) between the Gaslamp and Little Italy.

One of the best places in the country to buy diamonds and high-end jewelry is The Jewelry Exchange on 6th Avenue in the Gaslamp District: you’ll find seven floors of wholesale jewelers.

Don’t miss Our Lady of the Rosary Church in San Diego. It doesn’t matter what faith you are, the artwork is like something you would see in a museum. The church looks modest on the outside, but inside it is a real jewel.
San Diego's Little Italy is the place to buy hard-to-find imported olive oil and other specialty items direct from Italy.
