What is there to see and do in California?
You won't have to spend a lot to find places to visit in California. You can budget for the local attractions that interest you most, and then plan some activities that cost little or nothing at all. Take in the local culture at Britannia Pier Theatre and The Marina Theatre, or visit other spots like Strumpshaw Steam Museum.
How can I get to California and get around on a budget?
Looking at these ways to get around California is a smart way to keep your trip affordable. The closest airport is 18.5 mi (29.7 km) away from the centre in Norwich (NWI-Norwich Intl.). California may not have many public transport options to choose from so a car rental could be a reasonable alternative to see more of the area.
