Palm Springs
City Luxuries in a Desert Oasis
Stylish hotels, golf courses, spas, restaurants and boutique shops have flourished in this hot spring oasis.
Sheltered within the Coachella Valley, Palm Springs has all the modern amenities of a city resort but rests on the edge of a desert that is ready to be explored. Get away from the rush of society for a while and enjoy the trails that cover the surrounding mountains. Or enjoy the best of modern living with a spa day, golf outing, museum tour, and then lounge for a while by the pool before hitting the casinos, boutique shopping districts, and delectable local restaurants.

More About Palm Springs
The Greater Palm Springs region of the Coachella Valley is made up of nine distinct cities: Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, Indian Wells, La Quinta, Desert Hot Springs, Indio, and Coachella. The area boasts more than 100 golf courses and dozens of trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. To the east, you can visit Joshua Tree National Park or head west for Indian Canyons. Take in the full view of the mountain scenery on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, which is the world’s largest rotating tramcar. The nightlife is also hot here, from live theater and music to dance clubs and themed bars. Then, find your own personal oasis, by soaking in the hot springs water that the area was named for, and feel your cares melt away with a spa treatment. With an abundance of sunny days and warm weather, this is a year-round destination for fun and relaxation.

General Safety Tips: By taking a few simple security precautions before and during your vacation, you can help ensure that you, your traveling companions, and your valuables are as safe and secure as possible.
- To make it easier to replace your passport if it’s lost or stolen, in addition to your passport, take a photocopy of your passport information page (keeping it separate from your actual passport).
- Carry only a limited amount of cash, just enough for gratuities and incidental purchases. Major credit cards are widely accepted and can be replaced if lost or stolen.
- Always lock your hotel room door (including patio and balcony door on any level of the building) and use the peephole before opening the door.
- Store your valuables (such as cash, credit cards and airline tickets) in the hotel’s in-room safe or front desk safety deposit box.
- If you must carry valuables on your person, do so in a pouch or money belt concealed under your clothing. Purses and backpacks can be easy targets for thieves.
- For complete and current safety and security information, including travelers' tips, public announcements, travel advisories and more, please visit the website of the U.S. Department of State at www.travel.state.gov.
