One of my favorite places in the city...Which is saying a lot, because its a pretty long list when I think of all the things I love in Cabrillo Bridge.

Iconic bridge built in 1915 that connects Laurel Street (which becomes El Prado after crossing 6th street) with the heart of Balboa Park. Highway 163 runs directly under the bridge.Has nice views of downtown San Diego when looking South off the bridge and of the planes landing at airport (even a peekaboo view of Coronado Bridge)Views of San Diego Zoo looking North; plus lots of greenspace and Eucalyptus & Palm trees.Great views of the California Tower as you walk across the bridge (hurry, the tower will be closed Feb 15+/- for a year+ for earthquake retrofitting).People often park for free in the West side of Balboa Park near 6th and walk across the bridge to the museums.Very nice spot during sunsets with the old fashion street lights glowing.If this was helpful info please like my review! Enjoy Balboa Park!

Love walking over this bridge and the surrounding views from all sides to and from Balboa Park.

Beautiful views on a relaxing cruise.

The Cabrillo Bridge is one of my favorite sites in San Diego. I drive by it almost every day, and its just a lovely little piece of history.

Beautiful overpass on the way to the inner parts of Balboa park. There Are tons of locks placed by people swearing love to each other along the fencing on the bridge and the view of the 163 freeway as it rolls under the massive trees surrounding it are awe inspiring. Love this place.

Nice walk and beautiful view of Downtown.

The best way to get into Balboa Park. Old lights, wide lanes, and a strong history give you a dazzling entrance to one of San Diegos jewels. Be sure to stay alert to pedestrians and the stop signs as you enter.

Grand entrance to Balboa Park.

If you love to walk and enjoy mother natures view this; then this is the place to be! I would like for you to experience it with a friend, or perhaps a loved one, and/or a family members.Its a beautiful mixture of a nice beautiful weather, view, and exercise with all the walking. But hey its all worth it. It was for me and my wonderful family Enjoy

Beautiful Bridge...design based off a sister bridge in Spain. Fits in really well with the rest of Balboa Park.

Fun location for night photography of moving traffic. Beautiful Vista of San Diego skyline

Very nice. Must visit at least once.

It has such a beautiful view at night, highly recommend you go with friends

Always a breath taking view, no matter how many times Ive crosses the bridge. Simply beautiful. Next time Ill remember to include pictures.

Unique San Diego historic bridge. As a bridge, its a great bridge. But this is also the gateway to Balboa Park, one of the best in the world!! Enjoy the walk and view and then the park...

Iconic san diego landmark. What can I say that hasnt been said before? If you do to by here make sure to visit the dog park. Great way to spend time.

A great way to enter the park.

Love the bridge and the view. I cross that bridge every Saturday on my walk.

Cabrillo Bridge is a very beautiful bridge. Ive crossed this bridge several times and I always get fascinated with the view of the city!

Beautiful place to go for a walk

A wonderful historical landmark a sign piece of architecture

Nice scenic point as you tour the park

Built over 100 years ago,, this is San Diegos most beautiful bridge. See it from below as you head into downtown on the 163 or take a stroll across it as you enter into Balboa Park from Laurel St. Tip: for some beautiful picture taking opportunities, walk the Bridle trail (directly underneath the bridge) at night when the arches are lit up spectacularly.

Scenic!!!....

Really convenient so I dont have to walk through freeways. It also doesnt collapse so thats a plus.

Its got a great view of the skyline. Its cool to catch a photo of a plane just as it goes by.

Great place for an evening walk/run

Great walk beautiful view

Another great place to view the city. I might try to do a time lapse or extended exposure picture of the traffic on 163 with downtown in the background.

Scenic walk really enjoyed it.

The view is amazing

Quite a serene view

Beautiful view of 163 freeway

This bridge has amazing views of downtown san diego.

Happy days are here again! Construction on the post-tension cables is over and this historical bridge is reopened for car and pedestrian traffic! If you peer over the south-facing side, youll catch views of Coronado Bridge, the downtown skyline (El Cortez sign, new library dome!), and even folks with their bows and arrows in the archery range beneath you. This is my favorite entrance to take visitors through for the first time... and just a stunning, sight to walk along to catch the cool exhibits at the Museum of Man or an outdoor play at the Old Globe. Hello gorgeous background for a photo-op!

Look down into the valley where 163 is now, and think of the gondolas that were there during the worlds fair.
