Fresno, CA is not a typical tourist destination. In fact, even though I grew up in Fresno, I wouldn’t make a trip to Fresno unless you planned on going somewhere else as well, like Yosemite National Park, Monterrey or Big Sur, San Francisco, etc.

However, I have met many people who stayed in Fresno for a night as a stopover on their adventures, and this guide is for those who are making a super short trip to the town in the middle of California.
