2025 Palm Springs Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

#OverseasTravel #PalmSprings #USTrip #CoupleTrip We went sightseeing in Palm Springs, USA. It's about a two and a half hour drive from Los Angeles. First, we parked our rental car in the free parking lot in front of the Palm Springs Museum of Art. It was nice to be able to park our car for free. After that, we passed through the street with the Marilyn Monroe statue and came out onto a street with various clothing stores and restaurants. We went to a cute souvenir shop, a clothing store that looks like it could be worn at a resort, the lively restaurant Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar & Store, and Starbucks Coffee. All the stores were cute and recommended. Address: 101 N Museum Dr, Palm Springs, CA 92262 USA

#OverseasTravel #PalmSprings #USTrip #USA I went on a road trip from Los Angeles to Palm Springs in the US. I stayed at the Worldmark Parmsprings Plaza Resort and Spa. The room was very spacious and had a kitchen, so I was able to cook my own meals and it was very comfortable. There is a golf course and tennis courts next door, so it is a great hotel for vacations. You can see a beautiful view of the golf course from the room. Address: 2601 Lawrence Crossley Rd, Palm Springs, CA 92264 USA

Palm Springs tram was quite an adventure. Go from 60 degree sunny weather to 35 degrees and snow! The ride up was about 10-12 mins, the tram does rotate 360 so you get a glimpse of all the views of the valley! Once at the very top, there’s multiple option of food and drinks, the hot chocolate was amazing and needed for warmth. Plenty of seating for breaks which you will need, the paths are SUPER steep! Definitely a great trip and recommend if you’re not afraid of heights. #palmsprings #aerialtram #deserttosnow #awesomepic #heights #trees #mountains

Palm Springs, California. North Lykken Trailheads. Awesome hiking opportunities in greater Palm Springs area. Very walkable town with mid century architecture and lots of shops and restaurants.

Palm Springs is a very chill place. It takes two hours to drive from downtown LA. It is suitable for going with your boyfriend or girlfriend on weekends. #PalmSprings

Palm Springs, USA. It was a desert town that I came to without much expectation, but it was cleaner than I thought and a city with a lively festival atmosphere. I started my breakfast at Starbucks, and the store in the middle of the desert was really pretty. #Summer #RestaurantExploration #SafeTravel #Cafe #MustSeeHistoricalPlaces

game night with a great group of friends in Palm Springs !

Palm Springs became famous in the 1900s, as a favorite retreat for John Muir and his daughters early in the century, and developing into a refuge for glamorous movie stars into the 1930s. Now, it’s no less fabulous, but has a more robust tourism industry accessible to all! While in Palm Springs, be sure to spend an early morning wandering through the massive, “furry” palm trees in Andreas Canyon (part of the Indian Canyons). The light is especially beautiful early in the morning, and it’s nice to be able to explore the area before the crowds start to arrive around 9:30/10:00am. Afterward, stop at the Moorten Botanical Garden to wander the really beautifully curated maze of exotic desert plants and cacti. You also won’t want to miss some of the famous Palm Springs mid-century modern design and architecture — my favorite spots are the Parker Hotel, the Palm Springs Architecture Museum, Palm Springs Art Museum’s Architecture and Design Center, Twin Palms Estates, Coachella Valley Savings and Loan, Elrod House Interior, and the Tramway Gas Station. Be sure to wander the main street to check out the beautiful mid-century home design shops and funky clothing boutiques, and enjoy the diverse food scene. On your way out, stop at San Gorgonio Pass for a photo-op with a sea of windmills! #awesomepic

Les Cactus in Palm Springs was the epitome of 'authentic American vibes.' The check-in process was self-service, but the instructions provided were clear and easy to follow. As soon as I stepped inside, I was greeted by an Instagram-worthy aesthetic. The warm glow of the sunset filled the room, and the sky framed by palm trees looked like a masterpiece. Lying on the sunbed by the pool felt like time had stopped, and the gentle desert breeze outside cleared my mind completely. The small-scale accommodation was wonderfully quiet, making it ideal for couples or anyone looking for a solo reset. Highly recommended! Location: 67430 Tamara Rd, Desert Hot Springs, CA 92240

#HawaiiFlightEvent The Rescatus accommodation in Palm Springs was like a hidden gem. It feels like a quiet village in the middle of the desert, but once you step inside, a completely different world unfolds. The vintage yet sensual interior, warm-colored lighting, and high ceilings gave off a great sense of openness. The pool was small but emotionally decorated, making it perfect for taking pictures, and at night, it looked like stars would pour down, so it was completely healing. I was very satisfied with the beds, towels, and amenities, as they all felt like they were carefully thought out. I recommend it to those who want to get away from the noise of the city and spend some leisurely and quiet time. Location: 67430 Tamara Rd, Desert Hot Springs, CA 92240

#HawaiiFlightEvent Les Cactus, which I stopped by in Palm Springs, was truly a life-changing accommodation. The entire space was filled with a pink sensibility, and especially when the sky turned pink at sunset, the entire accommodation changed into a scene from a fairy tale. The accommodation is not large, but I really liked the cute interior and warm atmosphere. There are sunbeds and pink umbrellas around the pool, so no matter where you take a picture, it will be emotional! The room was also clean and cozy with a sophisticated vintage style. The staff was also friendly, and the detailed props placed here and there added a retro mood, making me feel good throughout my stay. It is a quiet and private place, so it is perfect for a couple's trip or a leisurely healing trip alone. In particular, the scenery of the pink sunset and palm trees is still vivid in my mind. If I go to Palm Springs, I will definitely visit again! Location: Les Cactus, Palm Springs, California, USA

The room I stayed in at Les Cactus was truly cozy and charming. The exterior was filled with vintage vibes, but as soon as I stepped inside, I fell in love with the warm atmosphere. The bed was soft, and the blankets were so comfortable that I felt like lounging around all day. The walls were adorned with artistic and emotional artwork, and cute decorations were placed throughout, making the space feel like a piece of art. The lighting cast a warm yellow glow, turning even the moments spent inside into pure relaxation. What I loved most was waking up in the morning to sunlight streaming through the windows and the peaceful view of palm trees outside. Sitting by the window with a cup of coffee felt like stepping into a scene from a movie. Whether you're alone or with someone, this is the perfect space. If you're looking for a charming and emotional place to stay, I highly recommend this adorable room at Les Cactus! Location: Les Cactus, Palm Springs, California, USA

During the approximately 10-minute journey, the cable car slowly rotates, giving you a 360-degree view of the valley below, cliffs and the desert in the distance.

Every shot you take is a blockbuster; The autumn climate is also pleasant, and the mountains and forests are dyed with colorful colors. Red, brown and orange interweave into a picturesque scene. It is especially suitable for strolling, sightseeing and photography. Summer desert temperatures can reach as high as 100°F - 120°F. The heat is unbearable and not suitable for long-term outdoor activities. But if you love heat, you can also go there to experience the desert; In winter, the mountain top is cold and snowy, and the cable car may be closed due to extreme weather. It is not recommended to go there.

A cozy and relaxed airport, completely different from San Francisco or Los Angeles. It is also very convenient to rent a car. The downtown area is cute and has many free exhibition halls. You can ride the cable car to San Jacinto Mountain and go trekking in the Joshua Tree National Park.

Was in California for work for a few days and drove by Palm Springs. Joshua Tree national park was the natural attraction and that could easily eat up a day (and if you drove from Lax airport it should eat up a tank of gasoline too). You come here for the rocks, the mountains, and of course for the eccentric flora, including the namesake Joshua tree. Other destinations in the periphery include the cable car leading up to San Jacinto mountain. It is easily overflowing with people I’d say go early. There are a couple of nice botanical gardens like Moorten as well as a museum featuring fighter jets and ww2 planes. Add this altogether you shd have three days. Hotels are not cheap, but you will most likely drive and will be able to pickup some nice airbnbs in nearby townships. I stayed in Morongo valley.

Definitely worth checking out

#JapanFlightEvent Shopping at a supermarket during my trip to the US was a great experience that allowed me to experience the prices directly, beyond just shopping. I was able to gauge the cost of living in the US by comparing prices of each product, and it was interesting to see ingredients and bulk products that were different from those in Korea. In particular, it was fun to look at the prices of fruits and vegetables in the fresh food section, and to see various sauces and frozen foods that are hard to find in Korea. There were some parts where the prices felt expensive, but if you look for sale items, you can buy good items at surprisingly low prices. I definitely recommend visiting a local supermarket during your trip.

Thanks to the good weather, I was able to enjoy a perfect round, and I was really happy to be able to spend time at such a wonderful golf course during my trip to the United States.

#JapanFlightEvent Shopping at an American mart was really fun.

I had a really happy time enjoying the round with the people I was with in a good atmosphere. If you like golf, I definitely recommend this experience.

#JapanFlightEvent I bought Korean ramen at a mart in Palm Springs and ate it, and it tasted even better because I was traveling. American food is good, but sometimes when I miss Korean food, there is nothing as filling as ramen. I was happy to find a familiar brand of ramen at the mart, and when I brought it back to my hotel and boiled it, it tasted just like the one I had in Korea. The spicy and rich broth soothed my tired body during the trip, and I was satisfied that I could solve a simple but filling meal.
