The USA’s West Coast is a place of sunshine-drenched beaches, stunning national parks and some of the finest road trips in the world. California is rightly called the Golden State, a place where the stars choose to live, the sun always dazzles, and a place that wholly embraces the laid-back lifestyle. Think of California, and its iconic landmarks immediately jump to mind: The famous Hollywood sign poised high above Los Angeles, the iconic Golden Gate Bridge defining the San Francisco skyline, San Diego’s museum-filled Balboa Park. Indeed, these are the state’s star cities, each bursting with its own local flavour and vibe. The palm-lined avenues of LA, where the who’s who of the silver screen rub shoulders with the surfer clans of Venice Beach. California is Silicon Valley and brewery-filled San Diego, but it is also a place of glorious redwood forests, home to the tallest and some of the most ancient trees in the world. Drive on the Pacific coast Highway, indulge in a Michelin-star meal, or go wine tasting with the experts - California is a treta for all your senses.
