Review & FAQ:

Located in the central coast of California, San Luis Obispo is the perfect choice if you're looking for a more peaceful Thanksgiving experience than the ones offered by the nearby cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco. The city is known for its laidback atmosphere, and it boasts plenty of beautiful wineries and luxurious resorts to ensure that visitors have a truly memorable stay. Special Thanksgiving dinners are held at many of the city's best restaurants, but it's also worth taking some time to check out the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art and the 18th century Spanish mission in the main plaza.
