Visit the landmark 18th-century Mission Santa Barbara, just north of downtown, and see the colourful frescoes in the Santa Barbara County Courthouse or its 85-foot observation tower, with its sweeping views of the city and the ocean.
Santa Barbara's Wine Country
Santa Barbara County is renowned for its excellent Californian wines.
