                                          Insider tips for visiting Santa Barba

                                          • Don’t rent a car in Santa Barbara. Everything is walkable or bikeable in downtown Santa Barbara. If you want to give your feet a rest, use the electric shuttle on State Street.
                                          • Midweek is better. To enjoy the wineries in Santa Ynez Valley, we recommend going midweek and avoiding the weekend rush.
                                          • Don’t miss the small towns. Ballard and Los Alamos have lots of small-town charm, farm-to-table restaurants and cute antique stores.
