Hearst Castle

A historical landmark an actual artifact overlooking the beautiful Pacific Ocean. Breath taking views and wonderful sights around the castle. The restaurant is good, one can try the beef raised on location, it's succulent on their burgers. Over-all it was a nice getaway from the monotonous grind that LA life is. I recommend purchasing your tickets online; walk in obtain your wristband and have a seat. In addition, wearing a mask is recommended but not mandatory since people are inside a bus just keep it safe.

Hearst Castle is located on a hill on the seashore of St. Simon, a private villa of American media tycoon William Randolph Hearst, known as the most expensive private villa in the United States, and later his post When people were not taxed, they donated the castle to the government for tourists to visit. Hurst Castle can't visit on its own. It can only participate in the Tour organized by the castle itself. It drives to the parking lot at the foot of the mountain and takes the bus up the castle. There are a number of Tour for visitors to choose from each day. The departure time and price of different Tour are different. You can check online in advance. If you are nervous for the first time, you can only participate in the Grand Rooms Tour. After 60 minutes, he will take you.

The town of San Simeon is an ideal stopover on the entire No. 1 road. There are also beaches to go around, and many residents come to play and walk the dog. We also encountered several volunteers because there were a lot of buried nails on the beach, which was very dangerous for tourists walking on the beach. They used tools to dig them out. During the conversation, I saw that the bucket was really half a bucket, and I couldnt help but admire it.
