    A month gives you time for a more in-depth California experience. Start with the major cities: San Francisco (Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Fisherman's Wharf), Los Angeles (Hollywood Walk of Fame, Griffith Observatory, beaches), and San Diego (Balboa Park, Gaslamp Quarter, beaches). Then, explore national parks like Yosemite, Sequoia & Kings Canyon, and Redwood National Park.

Don't forget the charming towns along the Pacific Coast Highway.
