Los Angeles is nicknamed as the City of Angels. It is one of the most beautiful cities in the state, though it might be a bit too busy for some. However, the city has several experiences for all kinds of travelers – there is the ocean in the west and the mountain range in the east and several valleys and forests on the mainland.
The city might be too urban for some, but it is also full of glitz and glamour, what California is most-renowned for. Let us take a look at some of the most interesting things that Los Angeles is famous for.
Getting Up Close with Hollywood Boulevard
Hollywood is where the excitement of Los Angeles is at! Check out the mesmerizing delight of walking up the Walk of Fame and visiting the Grauman’s Theatre. You have never shopped in an upscale place if you haven’t shopped at Hollywood at Highland.
These are just some of the things that you have to check out, but don’t forget to visit the movie studios which are away from Hollywood Boulevard, but still a must-visit. Paramount Studios is the closest, while Universal Studios is farther from there.
Experience the Rodeo Drive
Situated on Beverly Hills, this is probably one of the most popular places in Los Angeles to visit. This is an uppity metropolitan area located between the Santa Monica Boulevard and Wilshire. This is many things at once, but mainly it is a shopping hub. Shopping can be highly expensive here as well as dirt-cheap if you only window-shop, that is! The drive comes out on its own during festive occasions such as Christmas.
Let Yourself Loose at Disneyland
The Los Angeles family traveler’s favorite hangout – Disneyland – is a place that you just cannot miss out on. Contrary to what you think, this is not a place just for children. It can bring out the child in you too! Enjoy yourself on the various rides here, some of which are meant only for adults. Also, check out the attractions in the area, such as the Sleeping Beauty Castle.
Hang Out on Venice Beach
Venice Beach, located in the Santa Monica Bay area, is one of the most popular beaches in Los Angeles. The beach is big with various points that you must check out. Some of the most interesting things to see here are the Muscle Beach (made famous by Schwarzenegger and Co.), the Venice Boardwalk, the Graffiti Walls and the Canals. The beach is not just for people who want to hang out in the sun or skateboard in bikinis; it is also a cultural hub for artists to paint their blues away. Definitely a must-visit!
