Situated on the Central Coast region of California, San Luis Obispo is a lively city known for its Spanish heritage, vibrant art scene, and spirited downtown. It has plenty of attractions in store for its visitors. While shopaholics and foodies take downtown by storm, adventure-seekers can conquer the heights of the scenic Bishop Peak. Families will have plenty of fun in the San Luis Obispo Children’s Museum, and couples can indulge in romantic art gallery visits or wine-tasting dates in the dreamy Wolff Vineyards. A holiday in a city as beautiful as San Luis Obispo will not be as memorable if you can’t bring your four-legged companion with you.
