A famed city, you won’t want to miss

When you imagine a California vacation, it’s usually the landmarks and attractions in Los Angeles that come to mind. When you travel to Los Angeles, you can’t help but see the iconic Hollywood sign looming overhead -- a signal that you’re in deep in the land of big-name producers, starlets and musicians.

Seeing the Hollywood sign won’t be the only indication that you’re in the home of the film industry, however. Most of the attractions will remind you as well, including the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Universal Studios Hollywood amusement park, and Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. Visiting Disneyland, a short drive south of Los Angeles in Anaheim, will also put you in contact with the “stars” of Disney’s animated films.

Still, a visit to Los Angeles is not all about the movies. Shop some of the world-class stores, or visit Venice Beach to get a taste of bohemian life and the skateboard culture that made this part of the city famous. Plus, sitting on the beach and watching the waves is never a bad thing to do.

Flights to Los Angeles come from nearly every corner of the world. Many fly into LAX, the Los Angeles International Airport, but the Ontario International Airport in inner Los Angeles and John Wayne Airport in Orange County also serve the area. In addition, domestic airports are found in Burbank and Long Beach.

When it comes to accommodations, you’ll be hard-pressed to find any city that offers a more dazzling array of hotels for your pleasure. Whether you choose luxury accommodations overlooking the city or the waterfront, or you’re seeking more affordable hotels, most will include a pool for cooling off from the warm California sun. In some places, however, you’ll have to provide your own umbrella drinks!

A visit to sunny southern California simply can’t be complete without a trip to Los Angeles and its many attractions.
