Welcome
FROM THE MAYOR
Welcome to San
Diego!
Natural beauty, exciting
theme parks, and special surprises await you in the nation's seventh largest
city and California's second-largest metropolis. Once you've experienced
what millions of visitors love about our city, you'll know why San Diego
is second to none when it comes to hospitality.
While San Diego is best known for its near-perfect climate, miles of sandy
beaches, and fun-filled waterfront activities, you'll also discover a
city with a character and ambiance rich in the arts and culture. We have
nationally recognized theatre, the largest concentration of museums west
of the Mississippi, and a spectacular downtown with award-winning restaurants
and a dynamic nightlife.
Although San Diego is renowned for attractions like the World-Famous San
Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park, LEGOLAND, SeaWorld, and Balboa Park, we
are also recognized globally as the home of several first-class academic
and research institutions such as the University of California at San
Diego, Salk Institute, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and Scripps
Clinic. And, as the nation's fastest growing mecca for the biomedical,
high-tech, and telecommunications industries, San Diego will continue
to be on the cutting edge of science and technology.
In the millennium year 2000, we are hosting "San Diego 2000- Where
the Future Begins," a jubilant 12-month celebration recognizing the
region's leading industries and attributes. Each month throughout the
year, special community events will take place to promote a different
industry or aspect of the region, including sports and recreation, arts
and culture, the military, cuisine, our visitor industry, technology,
and more.
We have something for everyone to discover and enjoy, both young and old
alike. Whether you are interested in San Diego's art and cultural offerings,
beautiful historic sights, the lure of our incomparable sand, surf and
sun, or the sights and sounds of nearby Mexico, your San Diego experience
will be enchanting, exciting, and truly unforgettable!
Sincerely,
Susan Golding
Mayor
From The San Diego Convention & Visitors Bureau
