Directions and Travel Tips to Ease Your Way
To and From Comic-Con!

Avoid the Parking Hassles

Take Public Transportation!


Finding a parking space downtown is an almost impossible task during Comic-Con and we know you want to spend more time visiting the Exhibit Hall than driving around looking for a space. Here are a few websites that will help you with public transportation to and from the Convention Center:

Metropolitan Transit System

www.sdmts.com
San Diego's trolley and bus lines are among the best in the country, and they bring you right to Comic-Con's doorstep. This site offers all the schedules and stop locations, plus an Online Trip Planner to get you exactly where you want to go, plus a special page devoted to trolley service for Comic-Con.

North County Transit District

www.gonctd.com
The North County Transit District operates the Coaster train, which brings travelers from Oceanside, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Solana Beach, Sorrento Valley, and Old Town right to a few blocks from the Convention Center.

Amtrak

www.amtrak.com
The train station is only a few blocks from the Convention Center. The Pacific Surfliner route goes up the California coast - they also offer routes covering the entire U.S. - and train travel is a breeze.

TROLLEY | FREE SHUTTLE

In addition to hosting the largest comics and pop culture convention on the continent, San Diego is one of the most beautiful cities in the country. Comic-Con takes place right downtown along the Bay at the:

San Diego
Convention Center

111 West Harbor Drive
San Diego, CA 92101

Directions

From the North

Drive South on Interstate 5. Take the Front Street exit. Continue on Front Street until you hit Harbor Drive and turn left. Take Harbor Drive to Convention Center Place.

From the South

Drive North on Interstate 5. Take the Cesar Chavez Parkway exit and turn left. Follow Cesar Chavez Parkway to Harbor Drive and turn right. Take Harbor Drive to Convention Center Place.

From San Diego International Airport

(Take a cab or shuttle service, or find out if your hotel has an airport shuttle.) Leave the airport parking lot and follow signs to I-5/Downtown. The ramp will put you onto Harbor Drive going South. Take Harbor Drive to Convention Center Place.

Need more help?

Don't know your way around the city? The San Diego Convention Center website (www.sdccc.org) has a lot of essential maps and information.

Chart it Out!

Chart out your trip with Yahoo Maps (maps.yahoo.com), Google Maps (maps.google.com), or Mapquest (www.mapquest.com). Tune in to 1620 AM on your radio dial. It's the Convention Center's radio station, and it provides updates on daily traffic and parking for the Center.


Avoid the traffic and parking hassles:

Leave the car at home

Park and Ride with the Trolley! Our advice is simple: Don't try to park in downtown San Diego. We recommend parking in Mission Valley and taking the trolley, which has two stops right in front of the Convention Center. Visit www.sdmts.com for more details.

to park downtown?

Here are some San Diego-based websites that may help in your quest:
