Santa Barbara
|
Experience
the best
of the
American
Riviera
Santa Barbara is known for its Mediterranean climate, wide sandy beaches,
inviting mountain trails, and timeless charm. The City of Santa Barbara
(population 86,000) is small and intimate enough to make the visitor
feel relaxed, at home, and at ease, but it is big and diverse enough
to offer the varied cultural attractions of a larger American city.

unique combination of scenic natural beauty and a varied cultural landscape
make Santa Barbara a world-famous, international destination. Santa
Barbara’s proximity to Los Angeles and its many international
artists and performers make for a colorful and ever-changing menu of
cultural activities. Dance, theatre, concerts, recitals, museums, nightclubs,
restaurants, and a year round offering of outdoor ethnic festivals
all combine to add to the flavor of this celebrated seaside community.
There are also many historic places of interest in the downtown shopping
district where self-guided walking tours reveal Santa Barbara’s
Spanish colonial past.

the Santa Ynez Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. The warm weather, mountains,
