Lights, camera, action! Take some time to experience the Monterey Movie Tours. The two-hour tour is your ticket to see scenic city landscapes along with blockbuster scenes from some 200 movies filmed across the Monterey Peninsula like Basic Instinct, From Here to Eternity, National Velvet, East of Eden and many more.
Enjoy meditating at The Basilica of San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo Mission. The peaceful and serene mission is an authentic, restored Franciscan mission that features a courtyard, glorious gardens, and four museum galleries that travel through the history of the Monterey Peninsula. This mission museum also provides insight to other California missions.
Visit the Monterey Museum of Art to find one museum with two locations. The Pacific Street location houses permanent collections that are the heart and soul of artists who flocked to the city in the late 19th century, while the La Mirada location houses modern collections from around the world.
