California FAQs

  • When is the best time to visit California?

    It depends on the type of California holiday you’re looking for. California weather is pristine during the summer (June to August) if you want to head to the beach. For nature lovers, spring (March to May) is perfect for outdoor adventures. Autumn in California (September to November) invites you to soak in the stunning fall colours, while winter (December to February) offers amazing winter sports adventures.

  • How many days should I spend in California?

    California is massive, so you’ll need to break your trip up based on the areas you want to visit. A good rule of thumb is to spend at least three days in each city to fully immerse yourself in the ultimate California holiday.

  • What is the best way to travel around California?

    Most cities in California have fantastic public transport, including buses and trains. However, we highly recommend renting a car while on holiday in California to embark on the road trip of a lifetime at your own pace.
