California, the Golden State, is the home of Travel Itinerary Guru, and we love it dearly. California is the third-largest state in the United States, after Alaska and Texas. It is the most populous state and one of the most visited in the country, with around 290 million visitors per year. This is unsurprising given its diverse landscapes, scenery, and tourist attractions. California spans approximately 163,696 square miles, making it larger than many countries, such as Italy, Spain, Japan, Germany, and the Philippines. Visiting the state is like visiting a whole country, so it's impossible to experience everything it has to offer in a single trip. California boasts numerous cities to explore, including two of the most visited cities in the world: Los Angeles and San Francisco. Its unparalleled diverse landscape makes it an ideal destination for any season and interest. If you're unsure how to start planning your California tour, let us guide you with this comprehensive first-time visitor's guide to California.
