The romance of Hollywood, the glamour of Beverly Hills, those dare-devil Pacific Coast surfers, the beautiful Golden Gate Bridge, the spectacular coastline and the thrills, spills, fun and laughter of the theme parks – these are just some of the images that a trip to California will bring to life. The unique diversity of the Golden State is exemplified by the stark contrast of the stunning scenery in national parks such as Yosemite and Sequoia, and the vibrant and often dazzling city life in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
