A brief introduction to Los Angeles

Housing decades of cinematic history, Los Angeles has a reputation for its cultural prowess, as well as its beautiful beaches, stunning landscape, and impressive dining scene.

Start your trip with a visit to Hollywood, where you'll find the Walk of Fame, which celebrates the world's most highly acclaimed actors, musicians, and literary greats. Nearby, you'll find several glittering Tinseltown attractions such as the famous Dolby Theater and TCL Chinese Theater, which immortalises handprints and footprints of actors from the Golden Age of film. There's also the film sets at Universal Studios, a worthwhile attraction for the whole family where you can tour real-life movie sets. Los Angeles' dining scene is equally as impressive with an extensive selection of tasty tacos, authentic Korean food, and West Coast burger chains scattered throughout the city.

Visitors can also shop at Rodeo Drive and the South Coast Plaza Mall before unwinding at any number of Los Angeles' beaches - some of the more popular being Malibu, Santa Monica, and Long Beach. The rolling green hills of Griffith Park are also well worth a visit and provide the perfect view of the iconic Hollywood sign.

If you're in need of a quick escape from the city, consider taking a day trip from Los Angeles to Malibu. Located just a short drive away, this scenic coastal town offers plenty of opportunities for relaxation and outdoor activities, including surfing, hiking, and exploring the local wineries and restaurants.
