15 days roadtrip to the highlights of Calofornia

This 15-day USA round trip along the West Coast gives you a perfect first impression of the Golden State. From Napa Valley to the Big Sur coastal strip and California’s spectacular national parks, no highlights are left out. Mixed with stops in the most important cities, this round trip is the ideal California beginner’s route, which even takes you to Nevada and vibrant Las Vegas at the end.

In San Francisco, you can visit the historic Alcatraz or stroll through the colourful streets of Chinatown. The city is also a centre for art and culture with first-class museums, such as the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Art lovers should not miss the Getty Center and the County Museum of Art in Los Angeles. Both display an impressive collection of artworks from all over the world.

Santa Barbara, often referred to as the ‘American Riviera’, impresses with its mix of Spanish colonial style, modern flair and picturesque beaches. Mission Santa Barbara, the ‘Queen of the Missions’, offers you a fascinating insight into the history of the region and impresses with its stunning architecture and beautifully landscaped gardens.

California’s nature is breathtaking and diverse. Start your discovery tour among the majestic redwood trees in Muir Woods National Monument near San Francisco. The Napa Valley, with its rolling hills and sprawling vineyards, offers a picturesque contrast and the perfect backdrop for hiking and cycling tours.

Dramatic cliffs and the deep blue ocean – you can experience this view in all its facets on the Big Sur coastline. Depending on the time of year and time of day, you can watch sunsets or coastal fog in very different light on the rugged north coast. If you are looking for fine, long sandy beaches, you will find what you are looking for in more southerly climes, around Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. In Los Angeles, you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city in Griffith Park and enjoy the view from the observatory.

An almost surreal desert landscape with bizarre rock formations and the iconic Joshua Trees awaits you in Joshua Tree National Park. To round off the trip, experience the endless expanse and unique ecosystem of Death Valley, which will amaze you once again.

Californian cuisine is a melting pot of cultures and offers a variety of culinary experiences. Beginnen Sie Ihre Genussreise in San Francisco, wo die frischen Meeresfrüchte und das beliebte Sourdough-Brot auf Sie warten. Fisherman’s Wharf is a must for crab and clam chowder lovers. Besuchen Sie das Ferry Building, um lokale Spezialitäten und handwerkliche Produkte zu entdecken. Another highlight is Chinatown, where you can sample authentic dim sum.

Wine lovers will get their money’s worth in Napa Valley: taste the excellent wines of the region and enjoy local specialities such as cheese and olive oil.

In San Francisco, you can’t miss a ride on the historic cable cars and a walk across the Golden Gate Bridge. Experience the world’s most fascinating sea creatures up close – fulfill this dream in Monterey Bay. With a bit of luck, you may even spot humpback whales and orcas in this region.

Sample your way through the street food scene in Los Angeles, which has something for everyone from Mexican tacos to innovative fusion dishes. Joshua Tree National Park, on the other hand, is the perfect backdrop for a rustic barbecue under the endless starry sky.
