1. Walk around beautiful Old Pasadena
Also known as Old Town, this classic downtown district is among Southern California’s most walkable. Stroll along Colorado Boulevard—historic Route 66 and home of the Rose Parade—where you’ll find shops, restaurants and bars housed in turn-of-the-century brick buildings. Duck into Miller Alley to explore the lovely courtyard at One Colorado and pop into Indiana Colony for a treat from Wanderlust or the Pie Hole. You can take the L (Gold) Line to either the Memorial Park or Del Mar Stations, or get 90 minutes of free parking in a trio of garages.
