Recommended sites around the San Diego convention center

Accepted answer

If you want to go shopping for memorabilia, the Seaport Village and the Horton Plaza (prepare to not easily find your way out) are pretty good bets, as well as the Gaslamp Quarter, where you'll find plenty of dining opportunities (as a meat-eater, I cannot help you with vegan options).

For museums, I very much recommend you take the bus to Balboa Park, which will take about 30 minutes. In the Balboa Park you'll find plently of museums, including the free Timken Museum, which has a nice small art collection on display. In addition, there are places to eat, as well as gardens to walk around.

If you're into history, you can take the trolley to Old Town, from where you can walk through the beautiful Presidio park to the Serra Museum, where they have small exhibits about San Diego's history. You could also take the trolley a bit further to visit the Mission, which was established by the Spanish in the mid-18th century.

Finally, I do have to mention the San Diego Zoo, which is amazing, takes about a day to visit, and lets you see giant pandas. Don't miss the gondola lift with its nice view!
