California Travel Guide
California climate
In California, the climate can be divided into three zones :
On the coast, the temperatures are lower than in the interior due to the moderate influence of the relatively cool Pacific Ocean. In the northern part of the coast, the winters are often rainy. Fog often occurs on the coast in summer, with lower temperatures.
Mountains in California (e.g. Sierra Nevada) are characterized by relatively hot summers, with temperatures dropping rapidly after sunset. A lot of snow falls here in winter.
In sunny weather, the desert has high daytime temperatures all year round, which drop sharply at night.
The climate in California is very good for Suitable for growing fruit (including lemons, oranges, grapes and avocados), so the state is often called the fruit orchard of America (Fruit Belt).
Best time to visit California
There is a region in California that is good to travel in every season of the year. The best time to visit also depends on what type of vacation you are planning. Most visitors come in summer, between June and September. At this time, accommodation is scarce and the major attractions such as Disneyland or Yosemite National Park can be overcrowded. Summer is very suitable for beach vacations, festivals, and outdoor events. The mountains are beautiful at this time and great for hiking, camping, biking, and other outdoor activities. However, summer is not ideal for trips into the desert, where temperatures can get very high. When San Francisco and the Northern California coast are on your itinerary, bring warm clothing as the thick fog can make the region surprisingly cool, even in summer. Similar fog can appear on the coasts of Southern California in late spring, but it usually stays clear here in July.
In the off-season (March to May and September to November) fewer visitors come and prices are generally lower. In spring the wildflowers bloom in the meadows and in the mountains and deserts, while in the fall it can still be warm enough for swimming in the Pacific (at least in Southern California).
If you’re not planning a beach vacation, winter (December to February) is a good time to go. The desert is easy to travel to in winter, at this time it is quite mild here. The mountains of California are a winter sports paradise for skiers and snowboarders at this time. Rain is most common during the winter months, but outside of Northern California it doesn’t rain much.
Los Angeles
Los Angeles is located in the beautiful and sunny state of California in the United States of America.
This city captivates with its very special charm and a wonderful skyline, which everyone is sure to know from pictures or films. But this is by far not the only beautiful aspect of this city, on the contrary, it has many cultural highlights and sights to offer, through which you can spend an exciting and varied time there, if you want.
When it comes to music and theater, nothing is more important than good old Hollywood, of course, but some smaller theaters and music halls are also well worth a visit and sometimes have interesting pieces to offer with which you can get a little entertainment.
Many different museums with a wide variety of disciplines are also spread across the entire city area and ensure a very wide range of cultural offerings, in which there is actually something suitable for every taste.
The most interesting buildings are the City Hall and the US Bank Center, although there are many different other buildings that should not be missed either, including not least various churches that were built in a wide variety of eras and styles.
The parks of Los Angeles offer numerous opportunities to spend a nice day, also apart from the green space itself, because there are usually many different facilities for recreational activities and often museums. Which you can visit after a short walk through the park, when you have enjoyed enough peace and quiet and you feel like a little change again.
Of course, Los Angeles also has some beaches where you can enjoy the sun, go swimming or do water sports as you wish. One of the most famous is Venice Beach, which is also very well visited in summer, but there are also many smaller and lesser-known beaches where you don’t have to put up with so many other sun worshipers and can be a little to yourself, like that that there is certainly a suitable option for every taste.
