Hearst Castle: a mansion on California’s central coast
If you travel on the Pacific Coast Highway in California, you’ll reach the central coast of San Simeon. Once there, you totally have to visit Hearst Castle. It is a travel destination, mostly because there’s nothing else worth seeing nearby. Hearst Castle–and it really is a castle–has tons of history. It was famous back during the Golden Age of Hollywood. Hearst used to throw lavish parties for A-list celebrities like Charlie Chaplin and Greta Garbo. With views of the Pacific Ocean and untamed California hills, it’s understandable why movie stars would drive all the way from Los Angeles just for a party.
