Gaslamp Quarter

Step into San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter where Victorian-era streetlights cast a warm glow over cobblestone paths lined with historic buildings. This walkable entertainment district buzzes with rooftop bars, live music venues, and bustling nightlife. History buffs will appreciate the beautifully restored 1880s architecture and landmarks like the Gaslamp Museum at the Davis-Horton House. Dining options range from upscale steakhouses to craft breweries serving late into the night.
