Want some incredible views? Head to the Sundial Bridge, a suspension bridge covering the Sacramento River that works as a sundial.

Redding is a popular location for adventure, as it's sunny almost 90% of the time. It is a popular location for young professionals and students who want to escape the bustling of other major California cities. Beer lovers will be pleased to explore the craft beer scene, and it also features wineries, vineyards, and cellars, some dating back to the late 1900s. The city is constantly holding beer, food, arts, and music festivals, with the Redding Fire Festival being one of the most popular.

If you're visiting Redding, over 100 cities provide train routes going to this city through Amtrak and Amtrak Coast Starlight. You can also access the city by bus provided by Jefferson Lines.

Located in the heart of Northern California's Bay Area, San Francisco is a geographically small but culturally huge city known for its historic cable cars, active waterfront, and the eclectic mix of hippies and techies who call it home. While it might be one of the most expensive U.S. cities to live in, San Fran can actually be very cheap to visit, and there is no shortage of unique sights to see.

If the city's omnipresent fog (nicknamed "Karl the Fog" by locals) takes a break, the best views and Instagram photo ops of the world-famous Golden Gate Bridge are found in Golden Gate Park. Stroll through the oldest Chinatown in North America to find the perfect dim sum, or if you and your boo prefer a little Full House moment, try a romantic picnic at Alamo Square Park in front of the Victorian "Painted Ladies." After all, San Francisco is one of the best vacation destinations for couples.

Since the city is condensed onto a small peninsula, exploring by bike is an efficient and scenic way to get around. When you’re ready to travel beyond city limits, San Francisco is a convenient hub for trips throughout Northern California. It's actually the first stop on Wanderu's West Coast Wine Tour, with the next stop, obviously, in Napa Valley. Whether traveling by bus, train, or through either of the two nearby airports, San Francisco is a can't-miss destination.
