The enchanting city of Pasadena lies in the heart of California, a few miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles. It is a city well known for its rich culture, stunning architecture, and breathtaking landscapes. In all its splendor, Pasadena stands as proof of California’s unique charm.

Not to be confused with South Pasadena, a smaller but independent city still in Los Angeles County, Pasadena’s history dates back to the 19th century when it became a favorite winter resort for the elite who live on the Eastern coast. Today, Pasadena continues to attract many who love the rich culture and history of the city; its historic buildings and estates remain as captivating as ever and so are its iconic museums, art galleries, and theaters. Perhaps it would be a serious flaw not to mention Pasadena’s history without mentioning its famous hosting of the Annual Tournament of Roses Parade on New Year’s Day as well as the much anticipated Rose Bowl Football Game.

Contributing to Pasadena’s allure is its connection to other parts of Los Angeles County. Great road networks and numerous transportation options make this beautiful city accessible. These and more have made Pasadena a popular tourism hub. Surely, the “Crown of the Valley” city lives up to its name.
