Tourists who visit the area often talk about some of the must see attractions everyone should experience at least once when in the area. San Luis Obispo excursions offer the perfect way for families and couples alike to escape from the stress of everyday life. Before exploring any of the local SLO spots, visitors should take some time to meander through the downtown area by foot. With a map in one hand and a bottle of water in the other, walking through the historic downtown area is the best way to see the city first hand. Walking through San Luis Obispo also offers a great chance for people to find little restaurants and coffee shops that would have likely been missed by car. The downtown area features a large variety of outdoor delis and cafes many San Luis Obispo tours miss when passing by. After an afternoon stroll through the town, head to one of the many wineries in the area. A wine tour is often one of the most popular things to do in San Luis Obispo, primarily because of the great views that every winery offers from their tasting rooms. A tourist can spend multiple days just traveling to the top wineries in the area and could still have missed out on some great vineyards. If wine tours aren't your thing, make sure to head to the surrounding area and participate in one of the most popular San Luis Obispo activities: hot air ballooning. Hot air balloons are a great way to see all of the attractions in San Luis Obispo and is a great romantic date for vacationing couples. San Luis Obispo is one of the best places in California for people of all ages. Don't miss this opportunity for an affordable vacation to one of the most relaxing destinations on the west coast. --- - ![find price illustration](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__find_price.svg) ### Explore activities Explore thousands of experiences from activities and attractions to day tours and transfer. - ![calendar shield illustration](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__calendar_shield.svg) ### Book with ease Skip the line- book tickets online in minutes to top attractions with free cancellation on many activities. - ![trophy illustration](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__trophy.svg) ### Treat yourself One Key members save % or more on select activities, hotels, cars and holiday rentals.
