The Four Faces Of Los Angeles


 

Los Angeles is the largest city in the State of California. Beautiful, sprawling, and multi-cultural, it has garnered international fame as the Mecca of the entertainment industry. But aside from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, this Southern California paradise offers a sunny climate, perfect to explore the natural bounty of endless white beaches, blue ocean, and high mountain ranges. Los Angeles also features a thriving art scene, diverse museums, multi-ethnic restaurants, a range of accommodations, famous shopping districts, and a colorful mix of people, styles, and cultures.

 
Purchase Tour Options

Tips in this Tour:
Whenever possible, avoid street parking. Rules are varied, complicated, and at times confusing, and L.A. parking officers have no mercy.
Bring dressy as well as casual clothes, as clothing standards vary greatly from locale to locale. There's also a surprisingly large variance in the temperature. 
Got an extra day? Visit a movie theater in Hollywood or take surfing lessons in Venice.
Main Street in Santa Monica is a great area to visit as well; it's a stretch of four blocks, south of the Third Street Promenade, with great restaurants, unique shops, and many art galleries.
