Situated in the southwestern region of the United States (the so-called SouthWest), California is the land of beaches, natural parks, sunshine and road trips. Facing the Pacific Ocean and bordering Mexico, Arizona and Nevada, the Golden State have always fascinated tourists and visitors from every corner of the world: there are many places of interest and attractions that can satisfy the most diverse needs, the problem is exactly how to plan to see all that this great state has to offer.
In this article, however, we will focus on a much more difficult task: to make a Top 10 list of the most important things to see (or do) in California, a practically impossible task both for the difficulty of narrowing down to 10 the incredible amount of attractions available and for the subjective tastes that always influence a selection of this kind.
However, for those who have little knowledge of this state and do not have a clear idea of what to see, a Top 10, even if subjective, can represent a good starting point to explore the thousands of wonders of this legendary American state. Let’s hope that we succeed at least decently in this endeavor of introducing top 10 California attractions that you must visit!
When it comes to amusement parks, California is the second largest only to Florida (which, with Orlando, can claim to be the true capital of American entertainment); and whether you are on vacation with or without children, a trip to Disneyland, the first Disney theme park ever created, is highly recommended.
This park is split into two parts: Disneyland Park, the most traditional part, which was designed by Walt Disney and is also the most famous, and Disney’s California Adventure, which focuses on the natural beauty of California and has attractions with a higher adrenaline level. You can opt to visit only one part or both, but in any case be ready to spend a lot of time in this park, since there are so many things to do.
