Friendly gondoliers and charming houses lining hidden canals make for a perfect ride. They cruise from mid-day to almost midnight, but sunset is especially pretty and popular. If you're looking for a place to propose marriage, you could do worse: their acceptance record is near-perfect. Almost every Long Beach native will suggest a gondola ride during your trip.

City advice
Don't miss
If you like site seeing, these are a must
Downtown Long Beach has plenty of attractions that the whole family will enjoy. Take a guided tour of the Queen Mary, a historic ocean liner that also served during World War II. For the full experience, you can stay in a first-class stateroom. The Aquarium of the Pacific houses 11,000 animals from waters around the world, including penguins, sea otters, and sharks. The aquarium also offers whale- and dolphin-watching cruises, as well as harbor cruises. If time allows, you can hop on the Catalina Express for a ride over to Catalina Island.
Getting around
Don't Feel Like Driving or Taking Expensive Taxi Service
The Passport Shuttle offers free transportation throughout downtown and to many of the city's biggest attractions. There's also public transportation on the water in the summer, with the AquaBus and the AquaLink running between the Queen Mary and Alamitos Bay Landing. Long Beach was voted one of America's "Most Walkable Cities," so there are plenty of pedestrian paths. Long Beach Airport (LGB) offers nonstop service to 13 destinations, and the Long Beach Cruise Terminal is located next to the Queen Mary.
Book before you go
Best Time To Travel
Long Beach benefits from a mild California climate throughout the year. Expect highs in the 70s to 80s during the summer and between 67 and 73 degrees in the winter. The city also averages about 345 days of sunshine annually. If you're attending a major event, such as the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach in April or Long Beach Jazz Festival in August, you'll want to book your room well in advance.
