Where Greyhound stops in San Diego

Greyhound stops in San Diego include San Diego Greyhound Bus Stop, San Diego (La Jolla - UC San Diego), and San Diego (Downtown / Seaport Village). Pick the one closest to where you're staying. San Diego's transit is MTS (the Metropolitan Transit System), and the regional fare card is PRONTO - tap-and-go with the card, the app, or contactless credit/debit. PRONTO cards are available at vending machines or the MTS Transit Store. The Trolley's Blue, Green and Orange lines cover most of what you'll want, including Downtown, the border at San Ysidro (the busiest land border crossing in the western hemisphere), La Jolla and East County.

San Diego Greyhound Bus Stop sits in Middletown / Midway just west of Downtown and Little Italy. MTS bus routes run nearby, and it's a short ride to the Santa Fe Depot for Trolley and Coaster connections.

San Diego (La Jolla, UC San Diego) is on the UC San Diego campus on the northern coast above Mission Bay. The MTS Blue Line Trolley extension serves UC San Diego with stops at UCSD Health La Jolla and on campus. A solid pick for students or anyone heading north toward La Jolla Cove.

San Diego (Downtown / Seaport Village) is on the Downtown waterfront near Seaport Village, the Convention Center and the Embarcadero. MTS Trolley and bus routes are within walking distance. This is the most useful drop if you're going to Comic-Con, since the Convention Center is a few blocks east.

Best time to visit San Diego

Mediterranean climate, year-round. Daytime highs sit in the 60s F in winter and 70s to low 80s F in summer. Locals call the early-summer marine layer May Gray and June Gloom - those overcast mornings that burn off by lunch. Rain shows up in winter and barely registers in summer. Late spring and early fall are usually the most comfortable months for walking the beach paths and packing in patio time.

Top things to do in San Diego

  • Balboa Park, just northeast of Downtown, home to a cluster of museums, the San Diego Zoo and the Old Globe Theatres. The bell-shaped towers of the California Quadrangle were built for the 1915 Panama-California Exposition and still anchor the park's most photographed spine.
  • USS Midway Museum is a retired aircraft carrier turned naval aviation museum on the Embarcadero.
  • La Jolla Cove is a small protected beach famous for sea lions, snorkeling and tide pools.
  • Gaslamp Quarter is the 16-block historic district of Victorian commercial buildings, now packed with restaurants, bars and music venues.
  • Cabrillo National Monument offers Point Loma views over the bay, downtown skyline and the Coronado peninsula.
  • San Diego Zoo and Safari Park for one of the most respected zoo and wildlife conservation operations in the country, with the Safari Park up in Escondido.
  • Sunset Cliffs in Point Loma for the cliff-edge Pacific sunset that gives the area its name.

Neighborhoods to explore

North Park, east of Balboa Park, is the craft-beer-heavy walkable strip with indie shops, taquerias and a thriving brewery scene. Little Italy, north of Downtown, hosts the Saturday Mercato farmers' market and has waterfront views from Piazza della Famiglia. Coronado, across the bay via the Coronado Bridge, brings calm beaches, a small-town main street and the Hotel del Coronado. The MTS 904 bus runs from Downtown to Coronado if you don't want to drive over. Ocean Beach and Pacific Beach on the coast cover the laid-back surf-town vibe with boardwalks, taco stands and pier fishing.

Eat like a local in San Diego

Fish tacos are the regional signature - battered or grilled fish in corn tortillas with cabbage, crema and lime, with Baja California roots. The California burrito (carne asada stuffed with french fries instead of rice) was invented in San Diego and is on every taqueria menu. The county also hosts a long list of craft breweries and is widely cited as a birthplace of modern American IPA, with North Park, Miramar and Mira Mesa as the main beer corridors. Eat your way down 30th Street through North Park and South Park for one of the most concentrated food strips in the city.

Major events in San Diego

  • San Diego Comic-Con International at the San Diego Convention Center in late July - hundreds of thousands of attendees, panels, premieres, cosplay, and the Gaslamp Quarter taken over by activations. Heads-up: book your bus to San Diego months ahead, and expect Trolley and Gaslamp foot traffic to be packed all weekend.
  • San Diego County Fair at the Del Mar Fairgrounds across June and into early July, with concerts, livestock and racing.
  • San Diego Pride in Hillcrest in mid-July, one of the largest Pride celebrations on the West Coast.
  • Holiday Bowl college football game at Snapdragon Stadium in late December.

Local quirks worth a heads-up

La Jolla's coastline is regularly populated by California sea lions and harbor seals, and the Children's Pool seal rookery is a long-running local debate worth knowing about. Geisel Library at UC San Diego, named for Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss), is one of the most distinctive Brutalist buildings in the western US - an easy detour if your stop is the UCSD one. And the Tijuana border at San Ysidro is the busiest land crossing in the western hemisphere - a short Trolley ride from Downtown if you want to cross over for the day.
