 Picturesque
San Luis Obispo is tucked in the foothills in rich California farmland
and gently rolling hills shadowed by ancient volcanic peaks. The
city of 45,000 is the county seat, and is home to California Polytechnic
State University, historic Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, a beautiful
and vibrant tree-lined downtown, and the world famous Thursday Night Farmers'
Market street fair.
Plan on at least a day to explore downtown San Luis Obispo. The charming shopping district features many historic buildings housing a delightful array of stores - from fragrant shops featuring country merchandise to big city clothing stores offering up-to-the-minute styles. Downtown is also a lively meeting place, complete with outdoor cafes, movie theaters, and coffee houses.
