城市概覽

San Luis Obispo County is in central, coastal California, halfway between the metropolitan hubs of San Francisco and Los Angeles. The county is known for its fast-growing wine scene, centered on Paso Robles, and, to a lesser extent, its food. With a generally mild climate and a host of outdoor activities, San Luis County makes for a year-round, family-friendly destination. Its central location makes it a popular extended weekend getaway for people from the San Francisco Bay Area and greater Los Angeles area. San Luis Obispo County's largest city is San Luis Obispo, home to California Polytechnic State University ("Cal Poly"). To the south of San Luis Obispo is the unincorporated community of Avila Beach and the towns of Arroyo Grande and Pismo Beach. To the north of San Luis Obispo are Morro Bay and Los Osos on the coast, and Atascadero and Paso Robles along with the county's fast-growing wine country.

By car Highway 101 is the main north-south highway through the county, traversing the inland portions of the county and providing the fastest route for travelers. Travelers looking for a more scenic route will enjoy the Pacific Coast Highway (Highway 1), which runs at a slower pace along the coast and offers scenic views out onto the ocean. El Camino Real (The Royal Road), a historic route connecting all of California's 21 Spanish missions, passes through the county, roughly following Highway 101

By bus Amtrak stops in Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, and Grover Beach. Several Thruway bus routes traverse SLO County as well. Flixbus runs between San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles. Greyhound stops in Santa Maria. To reach SLO County, take the RTA route 10.

當地交通

San Luis Obispo Regional Transit Authority provides bus service between cities and is an affordable way to travel, but service is limited at night and on the weekends. Taking Amtrak can be a fun way to travel or sightsee, but check timetables as the trains only run a few times a day.
