One of the oldest cities in California, San Diego offers a wealth of grown up activities for couples looking for something romantic to do.  Romantic things to do in San Diego range from a sunset stroll on Mission Beach to an afternoon and evening in Balboa Park’s museums, shops and restaurants.  Balboa Park is a great destination for romantic activities, featuring not only the San Diego Zoo but also the San Diego Museum of Art, the Civic Dance center, the botanic gardens and the Balboa park carousel.  Don’t discount the typically family activities either, lazy afternoons at the San Diego Zoo and touching stingrays together at the Sea World Aquarium can be just as romantic.  If you’re interested in a bit of history, a morning in Old Town window shopping or wandering the halls of the San Diego Mission are great ways to connect with the origins of the beautiful costal city.  When you’ve worn yourself out with romantic things, San Diego is host to some world-famous restaurants that make a perfect end to a lovely night.
