Part 4/9:
Heading back towards downtown, we reach the 1,200-acre urban park known as Balboa Park. Constructed for the 1915 Panama Exposition, the park is celebrated for its Spanish Revival architecture, with over 65 miles of trails, 17 museums, and the world-famous San Diego Zoo.
Some of the must-see attractions in Balboa Park include the Botanical Building, the Japanese Friendship Garden, the Spreckels Organ Pavilion, the Spanish Village Art Center, and the Alcazar Garden. Each offers a unique cultural experience and stunning architectural or natural beauty.
