Los Angeles

A glittering city with an illustrious past, there’s more to Los Angeles than just cinema and celebrity.

View Holidays

The centre of the USA’s film & television industry, Los Angeles has long been known for its sun, celluloid and celebrity. In fact, it wouldn’t be far fetched to say Los Angeles is the epitome of what many of us think of when California is mentioned. Sprawling in magnitude, this shimmering southern Californian metropolis excites and intrigues with its storied history, eclectic architecture, renowned museums, unique hotels and endless list of things to do.

Whether you’re into stargazing at the iconic Griffith Observatory or spotting celebrities on the streets of Beverly Hills, you’ll find Los Angeles has something for everyone. Fans of film & television will obviously be spoiled for choice in the City of Angels. From visiting the famous Chinese Theatre to seeing the names of silver-screen icons on Hollywood Boulevard, don’t be surprised if you find yourself wanting to take a tour of one of the film studios – after all, this is the place where the movie magic happens.

But don’t get caught up just admiring the city’s cinematic roots. Los Angeles is home to no less than 841 museums and art galleries, and many are well worth a visit. Standouts include The Getty Centre, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The Broad and the views both inside and out of the Griffith Observatory.

If you’re looking for scenic vistas, you’ll be pleased to hear that LA is also known for its numerous hiking trails found in the parks surrounding the Hollywood Hills. Take a walk up to see the full expanse of the city – you might even get a glimpse of the Pacific in the distance – and while you’re there, take an obligatory photo with the Hollywood sign. There’s no better way to say you’ve been. You’ll see that Los Angeles is made up of multiple districts, and you’ll find that each pocket of the city has a different feel. From the stunning homes of Beverly Hills to the golden sands of Malibu beach; the incredible murals of the Arts District and the multicultural vibrancy of downtown LA – there’s more to explore than you can fit into one visit.

While you’re in Los Angeles, make sure to also indulge in the delightful dining scene – from Michelin-starred restaurants to Mexican holes-in-the-wall, the variety and quality is outstanding. Shopping is also spectacular and worth taking the time for. From the high-end brands on Rodeo drive to the independent and vintage boutiques found in neighbourhoods like Highland Park, you’ll find it hard not to part with your dollars.

Last but not least, for those travelling with families, or for those who are young at heart, some of the world’s greatest theme parks are just a short drive outside of the city, and if you’re wondering if they are worth the trip, take our advice: you won’t want to leave.
