Flanked by the Santa Ynez Mountains on one side, and the endless Pacific Ocean on the other, Santa Barbara is one of the most picturesque and beautiful cities in California. Its coastal location and consequent geography result in the city having a Mediterranean climate, and thus has earned the city the moniker the American Riviera. Besides the climate, visitors can feast their eyes on architectural marvels like the Mission Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara County Courthouse, and Presidio of Santa Barbara. The city is also home to famous festivals like the Santa Barbara Arts and Crafts Show, the Fiesta, the Santa Barbara International Film Festival and the Summer Solstice Parade.
