Is Old Town Really Haunted?
By ,
I loved the atmoshphere at Old Town. It's fun and vibrant, but I was disappointed that I did not see any ghosts. The bartender at the Old Town Saloon said the best time to visit is during the winter...there's a better chance that ghosts will appear. Has anyone experience any paranormal activity at Old Town?

Old Town San Diego
By ,
I went there in Halloween 1997 with my then fiance. My then fiance took me out on our Halloween date. Wow! Muesums and shops are fantastic. And restuarants, too. Saw an old building that Spanish residents used to be living in before Yankees moved in. Wow, very interesting history I ever heard. I am recommanding this to vacationing tourists.

Save a few hours
This place is worth a few hours but it can get boring for the fellas. It's more a shopping area for tourists and it's geared torward the females. But check it out and you guys can get a drink at the bars there.

Little bit of Mexico in a Big City
By ,
We stayed in Old Town for several days. Two of thosed days we didn't need to venture out and about San Diego because there was so much to see and do right in Old Town. The food is fantastic and the different stores and street vendors was so fun and a cultural exchange. If you love mexican food, a different kind of shopping, fun and music then take a trip to Old Town in San Diego, CA.

I had a blast!
By ,
Old town was one of my favorite experiences in San Diego. There really was an air of times past. Home made tortillas, a haunted house, even an old school house have you thinking that you yourself are in San Diego when it first began. It's really easy to get to old town, too, without having to drive. Just go on the Trolly and you'll be there quickly while learning some little known facts about San Diego. Who knows, you might even win a prize while on the trolly. Inside Old Town, you should visit the mom mom and pop store with popular items from the 1800's which are nice to bring home as a souvenir. Learn how to make tortillas and other delicious foods that are fun to make AND eat. Kids will love Old Town beucase of the festive atmosphere. Many people are about dressed in traditional clothing. You could visit the old schoolhouse and immagine what it would be like to live in Old Town by visiting one of the original houses. Whatever your age, you will enjoy Old Town.

A mix of old and new
By ,
A lot of San Diego's culture can be found in Old Town, which features both original structures from the 1800s as well as touristy shops. There's lots of mexican food to be found here, and the Old Town Mex cafe is probably the best of the bunch. Sit back with a margarita and enjoy the perfect weather. If you're interested in Mexican-American culture or just want some good food, this is the place to come.

Don't miss Old Town!!!
By ,
If you are visiting San Diego for the first time be sure to check out Old Town. Lots of shopping and plenty of places to eat. It is very clean and safe, and it is just a few minutes from downtown by tram. You HAVE to eat at "Old Town Mexican Cafe." Simply the best.
