- Getting Around - If you just want to stay in Napa and experience all it has to offer for your day trip, you can get to most of the tasting rooms and restaurants with ease purely by walking. Napa isn't the biggest city in the world, and it's a charming place to walk around. To get around a little faster or go a little further, you can also choose to rent a bike, and there are even bicycle-based wine tours you can try. The Napa area also has buses you can use, but the schedules are quite relaxed and limited, so if you want to really go outside of Napa itself, your best option is to take a car.
- Best Time to Visit Napa - Many cities and locations in the United States tend to be busiest around summer, but this isn't the case in Napa. It's actually the months of early fall (September and October) which see the biggest crowds in Napa, and the prices also tend to rise during this time of year too. So if you'd prefer to save a little cash on your Napa trip and avoid some of the crowds, visiting in spring is a good option.
- Things to Do in Napa - The city of Napa is a beautiful place, renowned for its late 19th century architecture and great shopping districts. Walking along the river is one of the top things to do in Napa, as this is where you'll find some of the best boutiques and restaurants. You should also be sure to check out the Oxbow Public Market for fresh produce from local farmers. Visitors can also check out various tasting rooms around the city or even hop on board the Napa Valley Wine Train to visit local wineries in style.
