The adventure awaits
This 10-day California road trip is exactly the kind of trip you'll remember for a long time - it starts with four relaxing days in Los Angeles and Santa Monica, where you'll enjoy a mix of beaches, Hollywood, sunsets, great food and the typical California vibe, then move on through beautiful Santa Barbara, romantic Monterey and the iconic Big Sur route to vibrant San Francisco with the Golden Gate Bridge, streetcars and hills, from where you'll experience one of the greatest natural highlights of the entire trip - a trip to Yosemite among granite rocks, waterfalls and redwood forests, and finally a return to LA.
It's the perfect combination of cities, ocean and wilderness, so boredom is definitely not an option.
A big bonus is that traveling by car in California is extremely easy - parking is almost everywhere, whether in parking garages in cities or normally on the streets, often for a few dollars or even free, so you don't have to worry about the stress of where to park. The whole trip is designed to be enjoyed without frantically chasing miles, having time to stop for good food, roadside photos, spontaneous beaches and small hidden cafes - just the kind of road trip where you say: "Yeah, that's what America should look like."
Parking: unless otherwise stated at the stop, I recommend finding parking near the location on the street. In the vast majority of places, this is the easiest solution.
Tip: be sure to try all kinds of restaurants, but also take advantage of accommodation with a kitchen and go shopping in local supermarkets.

Your itinerary - Easy to personalizeincluded
Day 1
After arrival, you will pick up the car (according to the instructions you received before departure), and then you will just go to check in and relax before a busy road trip.
Day 2
On the first day, you'll head to the place that LA is famous for - Hollywood. You'll walk along the Walk of Fame, head to the Hollywood Hills, where you'll get within reach of the HOLLYWOOD sign, or enjoy views of the entire LA with the sunset from the Griffith Observatory.
We found parking directly in the parking garage at the Dolby Theatre - right in the heart of Hollywood - to be the most convenient.
In the evening, you can park directly at the observatory.
Day 3
The main highlight of the day is the legendary Warner Bros. Studio Tour - you'll walk through real filming locations, sets of TV series and movies, and peek behind the scenes of Hollywood, which is a truly top experience. Then, you'll briefly fly through Downtown Los Angeles and head past the iconic LA Memorial Coliseum to Mulholland Scenic Overlook, where a beautiful sunset panorama awaits you.
