From the humble origins of a small fishing village known as Yerba Buena, San Francisco grew rapidly due to the California gold rush starting in 1848. Devastated by the 1906 earthquake, San Francisco was rebuilt quickly. Long enjoying a bohemian reputation, the city became a counterculture magnet in the second half of the 20th century. From Art Deco to The Grateful Dead, and the center of the dot-com boom at the end of the century, there has never been a dull moment in this picturesque city by the Bay.
  • Itinerary

DAY1 Los Angeles - Santa Barbara - Solvang - San Francisco (420 miles)

In the morning, we’ll visit the relaxing Danish immigrant town of Solvang. The word Solvang in Danish can be translated as "sunny countryside", which in fact is true for almost the entire year. While in Solvang, enjoy famous Danish pastries, cookies, and chocolates; wander the streets and charming wooden, cottage-style architecture that brings thousands of tourists (including royalty!) to visit each year. After lunch, we’ll head north to the Bay Area and stay overnight in the San Francisco area.

We’ll stop at Golden Gate Park, see the Palace of Fine Arts, and visit the neighborhoods around Fisherman’s Wharf, Market Street, and Chinatown to glimpse the many lifestyles that flourish throughout the city.

DAY4 San Francisco free day on your own

Today, explore the sights and sounds of the City by the Bay at your leisure. Start with a ride on the cable car to Fisherman's Wharf. Or try the carnival atmosphere of Pier 39, which offers a variety of shopping and dining opportunities, a Venetian Carousel and a colony of rather vocal and photogenic sea lions.

On the more serene end of the Wharf (towards the Golden Gate Bridge) you can relax at the Aquatic Park, learn about maritime history at the Hyde St. Pier and then warm up with hot chocolate or indulge in a hot fudge sundae at Ghirardelli Square. It’s up to you!
