Do you know how hard it is to pick only ten Instagrammable spots in San Diego? Seriously, walk around the city for ten minutes (especially if you’re in an adorable neighborhood like North Park), and you’ll probably spy at least ten ’gram-worthy scenes. But we took the challenge and rounded up 10 spots not to miss in America’s Finest City!

Kindred is a favorite place in San Diego to grab cocktails, but they also serve food, including weekend brunch. The menu is all vegan, if you’re looking for that, but it’s delicious even if you’re not.

You’ll have to drive about 40 minutes north of San Diego for this one (without traffic, so plan ahead!), but in the spring, it is beyond worth it. These gorgeous flower fields in Carlsbad are open from March to May; check annually for open dates.

What Instagram city guide would be complete without a neat street mural to pose in front of? You can find this colorful “You Are Radiant” mural outside Artelexia, but the Mexican gift shop has plenty to check out inside as well.
