A Brief introduction to Los Angeles
An iconic city known for its film and television industries, Los Angeles is also home to soaring mountains, glamorous neighbourhoods, and a multitude of entertaining attractions.
We recommend starting your trip by visiting Hollywood, where you can find famous landmarks like the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Dolby Theatre, and TCL Chinese Theatre. Be sure to also spend a day at Universal Studios and enjoy many fun-filled activities, such as exploring real-life movie sets and going on numerous rides.
Southwest of the city is the renowned neighbourhood of Venice Beach, which boasts boutique shops, vibrant murals, and a vast array of restaurants serving up top-quality seafood dishes. Further down the coastline, you will find Santa Monica and Malibu, where you can go whale-watching, hiking, and wine tasting at one of the many wine bars in the area.
To get an incredibly scenic view of Los Angeles, visit Griffith Park Observatory as it overlooks the entire city, as well as the Pacific Ocean.
