Los Angeles is the A-list star of America. A city steeped in wealth and glamour, it has to be seen to be believed. If you have a vision of LA from the movies, it won’t disappoint.
If you’re visiting the City of Angels, here is a guide to the ultimate sights and attractions.
Hollywood Walk of Fame
One of the most iconic tarmac stretches in the world, the Hollywood Walk of Fame is a must for tourists. Spot your favorite stars, pose with waxwork models and soak up the lively atmosphere. Marvel at the street performers, and visit the Chinese Theatre, the scene for some of the world’s most glamorous film premieres. Film enthusiasts will enjoy following in the footsteps of movie heroes and heroines. Catch a film on the big screen, or sample giant sodas and big plates at one of the many eateries.
The Hollywood Sign
A stellar performer on the bucket list, the Hollywood sign is one of the most pictured sights on earth. Enjoy the hike to the top of the hill, and start practicing your poses. While you’re up there, take a tour of the Griffith Observatory.
Rodeo Drive
Any Pretty Woman fans out there? If you fancy recreating your own Julia Roberts style shopping spree, Rodeo Drive is the place to be. Adorned with designer boutiques, this is the playground of the rich and famous. If you don’t have a celebrity shopping budget, you can still enjoy gazing at the immaculately put together window displays.
Venice Beach
Once you’ve embraced and enjoyed the thrills and spills of the big city, head out to the coast. Hire a car, or hop on a charter bus. You can find details on sites such as http://www.lacharterbuscompany.com/. Gym buffs will love Venice Beach. You can’t take a step here without seeing live weight-lifting displays and intense beach workouts. There are bars, rings and planks aplenty, if you want to get involved. If you’re after something a little less demanding, but you’re eager to fit in, pop on some rollerblades.
