Sacramento, CA.

Inside the guide:

The magazine opens with an introduction to California’s four primary gateways: San Francisco, Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego. Readers will learn about the key features of each urban centre, including a variety of insider tips and recommendations for enjoying some of the most popular attractions.

Encouraging travellers to go beyond the gateways, a “4 Amazing Road Trips” feature provides car-friendly itineraries that deliver scenic beauty, hidden gems and plenty of family fun. A two-page map includes key driving distances and helps road trippers map out their adventures.

The “Travel Basics” section is tailored for first-time visitors, providing information and links regarding passports and visas; getting around; weather; money and tipping; smoking rules; and public holidays.
