Get to know Palm Springs with Viator

With easy access from Los Angeles, Palm Springs has long been a hideaway for fun in the sun. Since the 1930s, Hollywood darlings and near constant sunshine have helped make the town a haven of golf courses, resorts, restaurants, and a tireless party scene. Although lounging poolside may be the city''s official pastime, visitors can also explore miles of hiking trails, enclaves of mid-century modern architecture, and excellent museums.
