Fly drive San Francisco

Spend three nights in San Francisco, followed by a week exploring the Pacific Coast. Enjoy the scenic drive through the artichoke fields and rolling sand dunes of Monterey, followed by the dramatic shoreline of Pebble Beach. Stay here for rich history and world-class golfing. Travel along the craggy coastline of Carmel, stopping at Pismo Beach for its golden sands, wineries and spectacular sunsets. Then go on to Santa Barbara, known as the American Riviera, before arriving at Los Angeles.

These three cities can easily be combined to create the ultimate West Coast road trip. Explore the sights of San Francisco, absorbing the culture, history and underlying art influence of this diverse city. Then drive down the Pacific Coast Highway to Los Angeles, stopping at Monterey and Santa Barbara on the way. Spend a few days sightseeing and beach hopping around LA, before heading off into the desert to the bright lights of Las Vegas, where the entertainment never stops.

Enjoy a day trip to California’s wine country, easily accessible from San Francisco. Take in the sights as you cross the Golden Gate Bridge and drive through beautiful redwood territory, before exploring the rolling vineyards. Nominate a designated driver and spend the day wine tasting in Napa Valley, taking in the magnificent coastline and spectacular scenery that provides the backdrop for Sonoma’s award-winning wineries.
