About
Fontana is a city in San Bernardino County, in the state of California, in the United States. It sits in the Inland Empire region of Southern California, a part of the state that stretches inland from the coastal metropolitan areas toward the San Bernardino Mountains.
What to expect
Fontana is a city rather than a single attraction, so a visit is best planned around what it offers as a place to spend time. Its name is also given as "A Nice Place to Live," a phrase that reflects how the city presents itself to residents and visitors alike.
- A base for exploring San Bernardino County and the wider Inland Empire.
- A city setting for those interested in everyday Southern California life rather than a resort or coastal town.
- Easy access to the surrounding region, including the mountain areas to the north.
Planning your trip
Because the facts available for Fontana are limited, it is worth checking current information about specific sights, businesses, events and getting around before you go. Local city resources and regional visitor information are the best places to find up-to-date details on what is open and what is nearby.
If you are drawn to a quieter, residential California city within reach of the desert and mountains, Fontana may suit a visit well. Those looking for beaches or major urban attractions may prefer to combine it with a trip to a larger neighbouring area.
