San Diego Getaway Roundtrip from Los Angeles

Amtrak Vacations runs this three-day, two-night independent getaway roundtrip from Los Angeles to San Diego on the Pacific Surfliner, traveling in Coach class. Once in San Diego, two nights at a hotel serve as the base for a hop-on-hop-off sightseeing tour that stops at Old Town, the Gaslamp District, and Balboa Park. The operator's description highlights San Diego's 70 miles of coastline and its average temperature near 70 degrees, framing the trip as a relaxing coastal getaway. Because there is no tour guide or fixed schedule beyond the hop-on-hop-off tour, travelers explore the city at their own pace between stops. Amtrak Vacations does not publish a day-by-day itinerary for this package, so exact timing of the outbound and return trains is worth confirming directly. This suits independent travelers looking for a short, coastal rail getaway from Los Angeles.
