San Diego, California, is a beautifully diverse coastal city known for its stunning beaches, year-round sunshine, and lively culture. Did you know that San Diego is also an accessible city?  I’ve traveled to San Diego a few times and I’ve watched this city transform itself from “hardly” accessible to “much more” accessible.

Much More Accessible

I knew once I landed in the totally new San Diego International Airport the city was doing more for accessibility. The airport is super accessible and easy to navigate and staff were properly trained on how to safely assist me boarding/debarking the plane on an aisle chair.  It was difficult, however, to find an accessible taxi so I had to make arrangements through Super Shuttle. 

You will have plenty of options for hotels with accessible rooms.  I usually stick with a major brand, such as Marriott, so I stayed in downtown San Diego in the Gaslamp Quarter which is the heart of San Diego and close to shops, restaurants, and more.  There are so many accessible and fun things to see and do in San Diego so you won’t be bored.  I cannot wait to get back and experience even more.  Here are some of my recommendations for a safe and accessible trip to San Diego.
