Vespucci is a neighborhood in Los Santos, San Andreas in Grand Theft Auto V. It is served by the Vespucci Police Station.
Character
Vespucci is an area more suited towards tourism, resorts, and vacations. Because of this, many stores and hotels are located in Vespucci. The most famous area is the Vespucci Beach Sidewalk Market, where tourists walking along the beach go to shop for souvenirs, bicycles, and ice cream. When people are tired of walking the beachfront, they sit on the various benches that dot the sidewalk. Overall, Vespucci is a great tourist trap.
Vespucci is split into three sub-districts:
