City Guide:
In Fresno urban influences and a rural feel are distinct, yet interwoven.
Sandwiched between San Francisco and Los Angeles, Fresno absorbs all the features of a big city, while nearby Yosemite and Sequoia both add to a small town feel. Actually, it is this blend that sets Fresno apart from major tourist destinations.
You can see how Fresno combines these elements into one city on your trip there. Be it a room in cheap hotel in Fresno or in luxury we have them all listed with maps, photos and secure forms at our website.
Fresno combines variety of museums and upscale restaurants with the reputation being of the leading agricultural center in the nation. Its fertile soil generously washed by nearby rivers make it reluctant to any business or industrial development, keeping the city as an ideal tourist hotspot.
Anyway, this a diverging image of Fresno only adds to it as an attractive city to explore.
Attractions include;
- Bentley's Patio, a beautiful square with two fountains surrounded be big trees
- Nonini Winery offers guided tours and wine tasting
- Blackbeards Family Fun Center, a place to spend a day out with family or alone to entertain with paintball, miniature golf, sprint cars, water slides and arcade games
- Riverpark Shopping Center, the most popular shopping center in the area
In Fresno you can also find an abundance of farmers' markets to buy homegrown vegetables, fruits and other products. For example, at the corner of Chestnut and Barstow there is a market to buy agriculture products produced by the university department while the widest choice is offered at the Vineyard Farmer's Market, but the prices there are higher. If you are looking for a good souvenir to buy for your friends then you should visit the Sierra Nut House.
But what Fresno is really about is its unique mix of people. Fresno is home to 800,000 people who transformed it into melting pot of cultures like Basque, Asian, Indian, Armenian, and so on.
It even earned the name of All-America City by the National Civic League for its social-oriented programs and affordable cost of living thanks to its strong economy. Even though Fresno serves for agriculture it still remains the economic hub of Fresno County.
In recent years Fresno became more tourist-oriented and invested good money into service-based industries, especially hotels. You can find all hotels in Fresno packed with comforts you need at Booked.net.
