Discover California's cities

Diverse places turn a tour through California's cities into an experience. These include megacities like Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego as well as small towns.

You experience all this and more on a California tour or a tour through California off the beaten track.

Megacities on a tour of California's cities

Los Angeles

Greater Los Angeles alone has a variety of cities. These are also worth a visit. Universal's CityWalk offers 60 restaurants, nightclubs, stores and entertainment. Just a few miles away Hollywood is waiting for you with the famous lettering. In addition, a walk along the Walk of Fame is part of every tour of California's cities. But also a visit to the Chinese Theater with the hand and foot prints of famous actors is one of them. Similarly, a stroll over the Sunset Strip should include a visit to Los Angeles.

There is also a Farmers Market every Tuesday and Saturday. However, Golden Gate, Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate Park are the more popular attractions.

San Diego

The smallest of the three major cities in California is San Diego. It also looks back on a varied history. That's why the Gaslamp Quarter with its Victorian buildings is worth a visit.
