If your trip to Anaheim is all booked but your itinerary is a bit on the empty side, let us give you a helping hand.You may need to ask the boss for a couple more days off, because Anaheim is simply bursting with unmissable sights and landmarks. First off, be sure to see Disneyland® and Disney California Adventure® Park. You won’t want to miss California State University, Fullerton and Knott’s Berry Farm either.Explore the best that this city has to offer by adding Downtown Disney® District and Honda Center to your must-see list. If you have an extra day or two to spare, drop by Angel Stadium of Anaheim and Crystal Cathedral too.Not far from the city center, Anaheim GardenWalk is one attraction you might like to put on your to-do list. If you still have space on that itinerary, American Sports Center and Disneyland® Park will keep you entertained too.

We know you’re curious about what else is near you. Venture a bit outside of Anaheim and you’ll find landmark sights. Main Beach Park needs no introduction. Located about 20 miles away in Brown’s Park Beach, your travel itinerary just has to include this unmissable attraction.

Nothing screams vacation like hopping in the car, blasting some tunes and driving to the coast. Anaheim has some stunning beaches close by, so grab something to read (and a kite if the wind’s blowing) and take a jaunt to one of these well-known options:

• Bolsa Chica State Beach (12 miles away).
• Surfside Beach (12 miles away).
• Huntington Dog Beach (13 miles away).

Hang out with the local people while you’re in Anaheim by attending an event at one of the top convention centers. There are some exciting things on, so take a look at the schedule and set aside a day. Recommended places include:

• Anaheim Convention Center (2 miles away).
• America’s Family Pet Expo (12 miles away).

If it’s your first time visiting Anaheim, get set for a good time. With big-name sights like Disneyland® and Disney California Adventure® Park, you’ll wonder why you didn’t organize your trip sooner. But like all big cities, driving can be daunting — so why not go for a compact car? Parking is a piece of cake and maneuverability is about as easy as it gets. However, if you’d rather steer clear of the downtown area and check out the more remote sandy shores in Orange County, you can’t beat a four-wheel drive or an SUV.

You’ll be glad to know that there’s a great range of both high-end and economy rental vehicles on offer in Anaheim. What you end up opting for is largely dependent on your budget as well as what you plan to do. Specialty vehicles offer the best in comfort and class. If you want to treat yourself, why not pick a high-end SUV, or perhaps an upmarket mid-size sedan? Otherwise, if you’re just after a set of wheels to get you around town at the cheapest price possible, maybe go for a no-frills compact vehicle (or something else that won’t break the bank).

It’s relatively easy to find a car space in Anaheim, although it can be a challenge to score a spot in the busiest areas. Booking a hotel that offers on-site parking is always a smart idea.

As with most places, you can expect slightly heavier traffic in the hours before and after work. However, due to its smaller population of roughly 350,700, traffic isn’t a major problem in Anaheim.

While driving through the streets of Anaheim, keep in mind that the speed limits range from 15mph to 70mph. Most residential areas are 25mph unless posted otherwise.

One of two things will happen. Your rental company may bill the amount of the fine to your credit card. This is the usual practice. Otherwise, it may pass on your contact information to local authorities so the fine is sent to you directly.

As is the case in many places, normal cell phone usage is prohibited while driving in Anaheim. However, an exception applies for hands-free or Bluetooth functions. Just be sure to keep your eyes on the road.

When operating a vehicle in Anaheim, it’s illegal to have a BAC (blood alcohol content) higher than 0.08%. Thinking of having a couple of glasses of wine with lunch or dinner? Consider using a ride-sharing service or booking a taxi.

Road rules in Anaheim permit drivers at a red light to turn into the lane nearer to them, without waiting for a green signal. Before doing so, the car must stop completely and the driver must be sure that the way is clear before proceeding.

Seat belts are mandatory in Orange County. Having said that, these rules may differ for some vehicles, like those operated by public transportation systems.
