Highlights

iscover majestic Hearst Castle in California, and visit one of the property’s four mansions: La Casa Grande, Casa del sol, Casa Del Monte, and La Casa del Mar. The castle is home to 165 rooms and 127 acres of lush gardens, beautiful terraces, amazing pools and walkways - all built to Hearst’s specifications to showcase his legendary art collection and eclectic architectural tastes. Join us and explore Hearst’s personal collection of ancient art, sculptures, furniture and relics. This is a collection that still rivals museums today and almost every square inch of the hilltop estate is used to showcase it. Your state park guide will greet you for a 1-hour guided walking tour selected from amongst the following options (let us know ahead of time so we may book the correct tour for you):


Grand Rooms Tour (recommended by Hearst Castle staff for first-time visitors)
Upstairs Suites Tour (involves more walking upstairs and downstairs with no access to elevators)
