"California is known as the mecca of celebrity culture in the USA and in some ways, it is; this is where you'll find Hollywood, after all! But there's a lot more to this large American state than famous faces, film studios and the amusement parks that go with them. It's also home to Silicon Valley, the global headquarters of many big tech companies. And don't forget the iconic Golden Gate Bridge.
There's also some fantastic natural beauty on offer in California. There are giant redwoods to see, deserts and rock formations, and fantastic beaches along the coast. It's home to sweeping landscapes, vineyards, and a collection of cities that are as famous as the state itself: think San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego. Packed full of culture and good food, the best places to visit in California are fascinating to explore." -touropia
