Traveler advice

Book before you go

Parking

Download the “WayToPark” app from the App Store on your phone. It takes a few minutes to setup, but makes parking easy in downtown Paso
Customs and culture

Smile and say hello

Say hello to folks as you walk around town. We’re a friendly little town
Traveling with kids

Feed the koi at the Paso Robles Inn

There are koi ponds in the garden at the Paso Robles Inn. If you go to the front desk and ask for “koi food”, they give you a little paper cone full of fish food pellets. Super fun for tots and littles
