San Diego Central Library

San Diego’s Central Library might not seem like a tourist destination, but its got a lot to offer. Opened in 2013, the 366,673 square-foot, nine-story, downtown Central Library has more than just a million books (though it has that too). Its 320-seat auditorium attracts quality musicians and speakers year ‘round, and its art gallery features a regular rotation of local artists.
