San Luis Obispo’s downtown scene is every bit the destination spot. It is one of the few places in California where intimate designer boutiques set the mood, and corporate chains are merely background fixtures.

Walking around the streets, experience a sense of the European-style culture that is quaint, exciting, and inviting. If you get tired of the bustling activity, find an escape just a block away on the walkways along San Luis Creek, or choose a deli or restaurant offering outside dining overlooking the water and Mission courtyard.
