Downtown is the true heart of Santa Barbara, where all of the action emanates from tree-lined State Street. This is where you’ll find the biggest concentration of shops and eateries, along with museums, galleries, theatres, architectural landmarks, and nightlife. Admire the picturesque red-tile roofs, white-washed adobe buildings, and splashes of fuchsia bougainvillea as you meander through the many open-air paseos with their bubbling fountains and colorful tilework.

In addition to everything mentioned above, we are very lucky to have some awesome wineries that have wonderful tasting rooms for guests and travelers to sample.  

Santa Barbara is truly "The American Riviera" and can best be appreciated by visiting Downtown and all it has to offer. Please click on this link (https://santabarbaraca.com/like-a-local/downtown-santa-barbara/), Downtown Santa Barbara, for more great options.
