Anaheim California Travel Guide

This city's name means "home by the river", and is located in beautiful southern California. In the mid 1950s Walt Disney chose Anaheim as the location for his brainchild, Disneyland, guaranteeing this city to be a major tourist destination for years to come; lucky there are so many Anaheim California Hotels from  which to choose!  This City Guide can help book your Anaheim, CA Hotels so you can experience a host of sights and sounds, fun and sun, in and around the city. 

When you think of Anaheim, no doubt your first thought is that it is the home of Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm (with its brick-by-brick replica of Independence Hall) and Disney's California Adventure Park, all with millions of visitors each year. Disney California Adventure’s multi-million dollar redo is complete, offering new attractions such as an animatronic Little Mermaid ride, Cars Land, a 12-acre area based on the Pixar movie "Cars," and other attractions and restaurants which pay homage to the roots of Disneyland.

If theme parks are not your thing, don't fret as there are hundreds of other attractions to enjoy.
