Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa

Really enjoyed the walk around this Mission. Pretty little gardens and fountain. Unfortunately, I arrived after closing, so I can't speak to the inside, but the outside is lovely and well kept. The bells both in the bell tower and rear garden we very pretty!

Beautiful church! Came here during the beaver brigade festival and really enjoyed the visit. The inside is beautiful and worth seeing

Beautiful mission. Lovely grounds. Beautiful murals on the walls. There are guided tours given by domiciles. We filled a donation box for the needy and one for the church repairs. My Daughter and I enjoyed our selves and plan to return soon.

A place of tranquility😌 Impressive architecture for a 250+ yr old establishment. Worth visiting if you are in San Luis Obispo, CA, even if you are passing by or stopped here for a lunch break. This is a fully functional place of worship, so please be considerate to avoid noise and flash photography, especially inside the church. There is nice walkway (with stairs, no handicap access) overlooking a small water stream that runs by the edge of the premises. There is a restroom next to a small Amphitheatre.

Lots of history here and the museum is very well curated. Didn't tour the chapel.as there were services ongoing.

Nice mission to visit, museum has a number of historic artifacts and dress for the period.

During my recent visit to San Luis Obispo, I had the opportunity to explore a mission that I had passed by several times before. Despite its age of over 200 years, the mission was remarkably well preserved. It was a humbling experience for me as I stood in front of the altar, taking a moment of silence for prayer. The serene atmosphere was enhanced by the enchanting church music playing in the background, creating a truly enriching connection with my spirituality. The mission's grounds were adorned with beautiful landscaping, adding to the overall appeal. The vibrant atmosphere was filled with a lively energy, which further contributed to the uplifting ambiance. After my visit, I decided to have lunch at a nearby restaurant, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there, relishing both the delicious food and the positive vibes of the surrounding area. This visit to the mission and the subsequent lunch experience in San Luis Obispo marked a memorable and fulfilling chapter of my journey. It provided me with a deeper appreciation for the historical and spiritual aspects of the mission, as well as the vibrant energy that permeates the city.

First, this mission is great because there is no admission charge! Second, it's in great condition and there's a very decent museum to peruse. They also offer free docent led tours, which is a nice plus. Big bonus: there's a very cool bear fountain in front.
