Get in

If you're on the U.S. side, there are two convenient routes, I-5 and I-805, that connect San Ysidro to the vibrant communities in the north. Drive through the border crossing and embrace the adventure ahead or choose to park at one of the lots and enjoy a leisurely walk. Parking at one of the lots is affordable, ranging from $4 to $9 per day. Keep in mind that traffic can be heavy, especially when coming up from Mexico. Alternatively, the San Diego Trolley Blue Line service offers a seamless connection from San Ysidro to Chula Vista, National City, and Downtown San Diego. Enjoy the convenience of this reliable transportation option with one-way fares ranging from $1.25 to $3 depending on your destination. If you plan on exploring the city extensively, consider getting a day pass for $5 or opt for the 2, 3, or 4 day passes for additional savings.
