Getting Around Town
Downtown San Diego is best explored on foot, with short city blocks and most streets running one way in a grid pattern for easy navigation. For visitors looking to give their weary feet a rest, here are alternate modes of transportation: The San Diego Trolley light rail system offers routes running to various points in downtown; it operates seven days a week from 5 a.m. to midnight and runs every 15 minutes. Tickets start at $1.25. www.sdcommute.com Numerous pedicabs are available daily along most downtown streets, particularly in the Gaslamp Quarter and along the Embarcadero in the Marina and Columbia neighborhoods. Pedicabs are a unique alternative to taking a taxi and the next best thing to riding a bike around downtown. GoCar Tours – San Diego’s fleet of three-wheel mini-cars were designed for tourists wanting to escape tour buses. Up to two people can jump into these topless, miniature vehicles and enjoy a GPS-guided audio tour highlighting 100 San Diego sites. www.gocartours.com Cinderella Carriage Co. offers horse-drawn carriage rides along the Embarcadero and through the Gaslamp Quarter. www.cinderella-carriage.com
