Is 5 days enough for California?
California coast and make a number of stops along the way. You won’t have to spend too much time in the car each day, either. While you can see the most beautiful parts of Highway 1 in just a couple of days from LA or SF, the reality is that in order to do a comprehensive road trip of California, you’ll need at least a couple of weeks, and ideally a month or more. California, as I said earlier in this post, is bigger than many countries.A shorter trip of 3–4 days is enough to visit the major attractions, while a longer trip of 7–14 days allows more time to explore different neighbourhoods or do special day trips to other areas like the OC, San Diego or Joshua Tree. Now, let’s kick off our 4-day Los Angeles Itinerary.While you can’t see “all” of California (or anywhere close to it) in a week, a week can allow you to cover some serious ground. In Southern California, you could split a week between LA and San Diego, or even going into the desert to visit Palm Springs, Death Valley or the Joshua Tree.A shorter trip of 3–4 days is enough to visit the major attractions, while a longer trip of 7–14 days allows more time to explore different neighbourhoods or do special day trips to other areas like the OC, San Diego or Joshua Tree.

What is the best month in California?
Springtime (typically March through early May) is one of California’s most beautiful times of year. Although it can still be cold at higher elevations, temperatures are comfortable and fresh throughout much of the state. March to May is the best time for perfect weather and fewer crowds. Spring in Los Angeles brings comfortable temperatures, blooming landscapes and longer days. Daily highs hover around 75°F, lows rarely fall below 45°F and the chance of showers is rare.
How many days for a California road trip?
In order to see the best that California has to offer, I would recommend a minimum of two weeks to really experience the highlights without feeling rushed on your California trip. If possible, adding in more days is always beneficial and would allow you to take things a little slower. With a geographic area comparable to Sweden, California is a big place. If you fancy a bit of everything on a first-time visit to California, dedicating two to three weeks to the adventure will check off many of the most famous highlights.
