Oprah Winfrey once referred to San Luis Obispo, California as the "happiest city in America." It's no wonder she called it that, San Luis Obispo is a wonderful place to visit. Its prime location in central California along the coast affords it moderate temperatures year round. With the Pacific Ocean a couple miles to the west and beautiful mountain ranges to the east, this city offers vacationers a variety of activities to enjoy in a beautiful landscape.

If you enjoy history, EscapeWizard.com highly recommends visiting at least one of the two missions in the area. Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa is closer to central San Luis Obispo, but San Miguel Archangel isn’t far away either. Both missions offer visitors an opportunity to learn about an important chapter of the California's history. There are also intriguing artifacts and artwork on display.
EscapeWizard.com recommends visiting San Luis Obispo’s Dallidet Adobe for another historical experience. It is a state historical monument as it was the first commercial winery on the central coast of California. Today, it is beautiful spot to visit. Gardens and trees abound, offering beautiful scenery for a stroll.
The Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail stretches from Arizona to Northern California and runs straight through San Luis Obispo. The trail commemorates the journey made by colonists traveling from Mexico to San Francisco in the late 1700’s. Hike along a stretch of the trail in San Luis Obispo and imagine what it must have been like to be an early settler on the west coast.
If you have children, EscapeWizard.com recommends visiting one -- or a couple -- of the museums created in the area for younger tourists. There is a natural history museum in Morro County that has special exhibits that cater to younger children. There is another children’s museum in Paso Robles that was created inside an old firehouse. The San Luis Obispo Children’s Museum is also a fun place to take the kids -- in fact this museum was cited on both MSN.com and Travel and Leisure, as a wonderful place to bring your kids on Spring Break.
