Sunshine, surfing, and celebrities. These words could only describe one place in the world: Los Angeles.
Los Angeles isn't just the home of movie stars. The city hosts several pro sporting events and is famous for teams such as the Dodgers, the Lakers, the Clippers, and the Galaxy.
For travelers looking for a bit of culture, the city is home to several museums, such as the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History, the Museum of Tolerance, and the Japanese American National Museum.
Beyond the high rises and skyscrapers, Los Angeles has a surprising number of parks and, of course, beaches. Los Angeles's Griffin Park is the country's second largest city park, behind New York's Central Park. It is home to the L.A. Zoo. For a spectacular view of the city and the surrounding San Fernando Valley, visitors can hike up to famed Mullholland Drive. Beaches such as Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, and Santa Monica Beach and Pier draw big crowds. Venice Beach, in particular, is well-known for its bronzed and buffed bodies and bohemian atmosphere.
For a different type of park experience, visitors can enjoy one of Los Angeles's many amusement parks, such as Disneyland, Six Flags Magic Mountain, or Knott's Berry Farm.
Los Angeles is home to some of the best shopping in the world. There are plenty of high-end retailers on Rodeo Drive and Melrose Avenue that cater to the rich and famous. Also catering to the celebrity crowd - as well as the tourists – is a wide variety of restaurants, from those serving organic and vegetarian food to ethnic specialties and haute cuisine.
Whether visitors come to Los Angeles to catch a glimpse of Brad Pitt or Mickey Mouse, Los Angeles has something for everyone. The team at Los Angeles eGuide very much hope that you enjoy your holiday and have a wonderful time in this exciting city.
