Chukchansi Park

For full city vibes stay in Downtown Fresno where the shops are cool and the bars are hot. But not only is the centre ideal for shopping, dining, and nightlife, it is also ideal for exploring the city’s highlights and watching some good old theatre.

The Tower District is a cool and trendy alternative to the city centre. With its own dining and nightlife scene, it’s always alive with locals coming together for a good time.

If fragrant valleys and rich wines are more to your taste, opt instead for accommodation near the wineries and estates west of Fresno.

While Fresno is a fun city to stay in, there’s so much natural beauty surrounding it that it would be rude not to take advantage of it. From Death Valley to Yosemite, and Sierra National Forest, there’s a wide range of parks to take your pick from depending on whether you fancy a desert or forest landscape.

To really make the most of your stay in central California, hire a car so you can see the myriad different landscapes that surround Fresno as well as experience the city itself.
