About San Diego

San Diego is California's second largest city, with 70 miles of beaches and a gentle Mediterranean climate. It is bordered by Mexico, the Pacific Ocean, the Anza-Borrego Desert and the Laguna Mountains. And with the Mexican city of Tijuana just minutes from downtown, San Diego is an international experience with all the comforts of a city leading the nation in biomedical, high-tech, and telecommunication industries.

San Diego International Airport is only 3 miles northwest of downtown San Diego and the electric Gaslamp Quarter. Over 100 restaurants intermingled with dance and drink are all situated within blocks of each other -- and all within walking distance from the Convention Center, hotels, and the 2008 Vascular Annual Meeting.

Visit the 1,200-acre Balboa Park, one of the nation's largest cultural complexes and home to the largest concentration of museums west of the Mississippi. And don't miss the old-world Mexican architecture in many of the charming neighborhoods and shopping districts.
