Take Amtrak to The San Diego Area To Enjoy Your Next Great Vacation

January 31, 2010

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.  Given how beautiful and interesting our country is, the trip itself can be a big part of the total enjoyment.

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.  San Diego is spread out over a smaller geographical area than other parts of SoCal, notably Los Angeles.  In fact, a lot of the attractions can be enjoyed by walking.

 

San Diego is really loaded with interesting places to visit.  Visiting all of the beaches, museums, historical attractions and other amusements could truly take weeks.  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.  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.  This would make it possible to spend an easy week or two in Southern California without your car.

Don’t forget that a trip by train can add several days on to the total schedule compared to flying, but if you have the right mindset the traveling can be part of the overall enjoyment of the trip.
