Take The Railroad Train to San Diego For Your Next Leisurely Vacation

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.  Getting there can be half the fun on some of the more scenic routes.

One of the most popular vacation destinations is San Diego.  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.  You can even get around to a lot of vacation attractions by walking if you enjoy that.

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.  So it is safe to assume that you can engage yourself in a week of both relaxation and activity in this harbor city.  One of the major features that San Diego offers its guests and residents alike is its wonderful, moderate weather, especially in the summertime.

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.  AmTrak runs from the downtown San Diego station to downtown Los Angeles Union Station with a few stops in between.  This would make it possible to spend an easy week or two in Southern California without your car.

Of course, traveling by train could add 3-4 days to the overall vacation schedule but that could be part of the charm if you have the right attitude.
