Cities & Regions in California

Each of California’s cities have their own distinct personality. San Francisco captivates with its hilly streets, iconic landmarks, and European-style charm, whilst Los Angeles sprawls across a vast basin, buzzing with Hollywood glamour and creative energy. Head further south to San Diego for a more laid-back vibe, where pristine beaches meet a thriving craft beer scene and year-round sunshine.

Beyond the big three, Palm Springs offers desert sophistication and a mid-century modern style, making it perfect for a relaxing retreat. Sacramento, the state capital, surprises visitors with its Gold Rush history and farm-to-fork dining scene. Meanwhile, Santa Barbara combines Spanish colonial architecture with a stunning coastal setting, and Monterey charms with its historic waterfront and world-class whale watching.
