California Dreamin'

California has long been seen as the holiday destination for dreamers, whether it’s escaping to Hollywood in the hunt for fame and fortune, or retreating to a beachside hotel to kick back and relax in the Californian sun - with so many varied destinations and attractions, the state offers something for everyone, from romantic trips for two, to action-packed family holidays. Visitors with energy to burn can enjoy the two extremes of the sporting world, from skiing and winter activities in the Big Bear or Lake Tahoe resort, to surfing and scuba diving in Santa Monica or Orange County. At the heart of a California holiday sits the notorious Los Angeles, a city filled with world renowned attractions, from the Walk of Fame and the Graumann’s Chinese Theatre, to Rodeo Drive and the sprawling Beverly Hills. San Francisco also boasts its fair share of landmarks, including the gleaming Golden Gate Bridge and the eerie Alcatraz. Enjoy some Riviera chic along the Santa Barbara coastline, which glows amid sweeping beaches, exquisite wineries and superb restaurants and shops. The Napa Valley is also one for wine lovers, scattered with vineyards that offer tours and tasting, and some spas that provide the perfect post wine pampering.
