In the idyllic city of San Luis Obispo, relaxation and rejuvenation can be found all around – from bustling markets to the great outdoors. Here, you’ll find a welcoming community of friendly people with an intimate tie to their city and its history. The Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa is in the heart of downtown. It was founded in 1772, and the city grew up around it. The city of SLO is a great walking town! Visit the mission and then explore downtown on foot, stopping to sample artisanal fare paired with local wine and beer. Seated on fertile soil and bordered by glittering waves, SLO’s innovative restaurants source their ingredients directly from local farmers and fishermen at the renowned San Luis Obispo Farmers’ Market. There are many options for wine tasting and al fresco dining. Catch some college sports at California Polytechnic State University, or hike one of the many scenic trails found within minutes of downtown. And, of course, the beach is just minutes away too! If the salty shore calls your name, SLO is just minutes from several nearby beaches ideal for families, surfers, and walking hand-in-hand. Get ready, get set, go SLO.
