Part 7/9:
Considered the birthplace of California, Old Town San Diego is the location of the first European settlement on the West Coast. Atop a hill overlooking the area is Presidio Park, home to the Royal Presidio and the Junípero Serra Museum, which showcase the history of San Diego.
Within Old Town, you can explore historic adobe buildings, blacksmiths, markets, and even haunted locations like the cemetery and the Whaley House. The nearby Heritage Park Victorian Village preserves historic Victorian homes relocated from around San Diego.
