Incredible Stop

Hearst Castle is a palace built by newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst in 1922. It's located near San Simeon, California, on a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean, halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco (390km 370km LA and SF). It was built on the principle of "no matter the price or how long it takes". It was donated in 1957 by the Hearst Corporation to the state of California and was later listed as a National Historic Building, and can now be visited by tourists. It occupies an area of 160 km ² and has 56 bedrooms, 61 bathrooms, 19 living rooms, a large expansion of gardens, both indoor and outdoor pools, tennis courts, a movie theater, an airfield, and the largest private zoo in the world, where you can see each some zebras and other exotic animals.

It's full of artwork, as much as architectures as sculptures and paintings acquired by the publisher. The running rates vary. You need to make a reservation during the busy season. If you go down the coast from San Francisco to LA the castle is a must see.
