Getting Around:
🗺️ Julian’s historic charm is best experienced at an easy pace. The town’s compact layout makes much of historic downtown Julian walkable, where you can stroll past preserved 19th-century buildings, browse unique local boutiques, and stop by the famous pie shops that define the area.
▸ On Foot: Downtown Julian is ideal for walking, with shops, cafés, and historic sites close together.
▸ By Car: A personal vehicle is recommended for exploring nearby wineries, orchards, scenic drives, and hiking trails in the Cuyamaca Mountains. The surrounding roads offer beautiful mountain views and peaceful landscapes.
