California: Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego

Los Angeles

One of the most prominent cities in the United States, Los Angeles (L.A.) is a hub of virtually every conceivable activity and lifestyle. The large size of the city guarantees that every taste can be satisfied, and the large number of varied attractions in L.A. make it one of the most popular travel destinations not only in California, but the United States as a whole.

San Francisco

San Francisco is famous for its architecture, with its rows of Victorians and its streets of bay windows. Though the city is only 49-square miles, San Francisco boasts some of the oldest and most beautiful residential property in California. Although many American cities and towns are described as "melting pots," San Francisco neighborhoods can most accurately be characterized as a mosaic.
