About Flora

Being in Downtown San Diego you are exposed to many nearby photo opportunities. If you are not a fan of driving away from the venue you can easily walk to Horton Plaza Park or the Civic Center Plaza. Or just take photos on 7th ave and in the bathroom. If you are willing to drive, there's Balboa Park, Seaport Village, Central Library, or Gaslamp Quarter (You can walk but at the cost of time and energy). If you want a parking lot I recommend the Hilton (1 Park Blvd, San Diego, CA 92101) or the one on 6th St and B St (525 B St Parking Garage).
