Historic Attractions in San Diego
To take a step back in time, visitors are encouraged to pay a visit to any one of the Spanish missions which are today open to the public. Entering a mission will help you get a sense of the Colonial area in southern California. Mission San Luis Rey de Francia, in Oceanside, near San Diego, is a working mission on the National Register of Historic Places that also houses a museum and visitors center.
For those wishing to capture a glimpse of the important role San Diego has played in the history of the United States Navy, check out the Embarcadero waterfront pathway in downtown, where visitors can explore the historic naval vessels now permanently docked at the piers.
Historic Attractions in Long Beach
You pick – British or Russian. The Russian choice is a Cold War – era sub, code named “Scorpoin”, the Russian Foxtrot Submarine. Near the Scorpion in Long Beach is the Queen Mary. The Queen Mary is a luxuriously posh British cruise ship that features a hotel on board and is rumored to be haunted. Guided ghost tours are available dockside for those in the mood for a spook.
Historic Attractions in Los Angeles
A (more recent) historical site in southern California is Grauman's Chinese Theater (on Hollywood Boulevard), which has been screening the industry's top movies since the roaring 1920s and continues to show big budget Hollywood blockbuster premieres today.
