It’s always a good idea to ask an expert; it’s even better if you've got one in your own family. Florinda Bogner reveals the Hot Spots of her study home in California.
Locals refer to the city as simply SD, but for the rest of the US, San Diego is “America's finest city” a reference to the delightful climate and its the fantastic beaches. The city, right near the border to Mexico, offers a pure quality of life. Surfing is a part of the daily routine in the second-largest city in California (the eighth-largest in the US) – and the typical weather is nothing but radiant sunshine.

“Fantastic food with a distinct Mexican flavor – also great for everyone who loves a spicy kitchen...”
BALBOA PARK (2)
In fact a “Culture park”: With 15 museums, the zoo – and parks. The cultural heart of the city and worth a multitude of visits!
LA JOLLA BEACH (3)
For Florinda Bogner who attends college here, the beaches are some of her favorite spots: “Pacific Beach, Mission Beach and La Jolla are the most important attractions for visitors – sure! I certainly understand why so many love to come here on vacation.”
CAFÉ SEVILLA (4)
“Very exciting club, but it's a good idea to go with a group of friends or to be a real fan of Latin music, otherwise you might be the only person here whose native tongue is not Spanish...”
PACIFIC BEACH (5)
That’s the name of a beach and a neighborhood: 26 million tourists come here every year. PB’s telling slogan: “It's alright here ...”
HARD ROCK HOTEL AND HYATT HOTEL (6+7)
“On weekends from noon to 10 pm, many hotels offer pool-parties – not only for hotel guests. So you can go too, for an entry fee. I recommend the Hard Rock Hotel (www.hardrockhotelsd.com), the W Hotel (www.starwoodhotels.com) and the Hyatt (www.manchestergrand.hyatt.com) in downtown San Diego.”
ENVY (8)
“A cool club with three dance-floors: And obviously I love to go on the roof here too!” (www.envysandiego.com)
