SolvangWhere to stay: Santa BarbaraYou’d be forgiven for thinking that this Danish settlement is actually a Disney film set that the studio left behind as a permanent tourist attraction. Its name means ‘sunny field’, and the little town was founded by a group of Danish teachers in 1911. There are windmills, wagons and of course, weiner schnitzel to gorge on.

Muir WoodWhere to stay: San Francisco For nature lovers and trekking enthusiasts, the National Monument is the place to visit. The park has been around for just over a century, but the oldest tree here is over 12 centuries old. Trees here are as tall as 79 m and in clusters, they make for breath-taking sights.
