City Guide: San Luis Obispo

In San Luis Obispo the thrill of discovery is an easy experience.

Busy with tourists year round, San Luis Obispo is so attractive playground that you as usual may get involved within it, but there is a big surprise just south of the city where award-winning vineyards extend in all directions.  

On a trip to the city don't miss an opportunity to tour its exquisite wine region, while Booked.net takes care of the comforts for your stay. It can be a room in luxury or cheap hotel in San Luis Obispo all listed with maps, photos and secure forms at our website. 

San Luis Obispo is the only place of its kind in the world as it needs to be taken in gradually starting from the very edges and move on to its tourist-friendly heart. Located halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the city long served as a stop off en-route to bigger destinations, but nowadays it is a charming pace to benefit from each of these cities in one stay. 

Getting closer to San Luis Obispo, you should keep in mind that it changes from season to season. For example, in summertime it comes alive with locals gathering at the Mission Plaza for celebrations like the San Luis Obispo International Film Festival, Festival Mosaic and so on. Along with regional fame San Luis Obispo played host to famous the world over events like the Mozart Festival and even served as a stop for the Olympic Flame Relay.

Away from its arty calendar of events, San Luis Obispo has much to do with a set of year round activities on every traveler's demand. If you are culture buff then sightseeing in this city is your thing.  

Attractions include; 

  • Bubble Gum Alley, a very popular gum wall where you can leave some of your own chewed gum

  • The Palm Theater, a showplace for local live performances

  • California Polytechnic State University, a pretty area at the hills on the northern end of town and offers a set of activities like basketball, baseball and volleyball

  • Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, situated on Chorro and Monterey and adjacent to downtown

  • Montana de Oro State Park offers hiking, camping, beautiful cliffs and rocky beachfront areas

Away from its hedonistic feel, San Luis Obispo serves for commercial and governmental goals on California’s Central Coast being the oldest of the region's communities. The city started from the Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa in 1772 by Father Junípero Serra and in 1856 it was incorporated as a General Law City.

With time the city evolved into the County Seat and today it houses broad blocks of offices in Caltrans District and Cal Poly State University yet adheres to leisure with numerous lakes, beaches and rural wilderness at its edges.

Whether you start from the city's edges and move to its heart or vice versa, San Luis Obispo is a welcoming destination with an advance booking at Booked.net.
