| About Los Angeles:Los Angeles, aka City of Angels, is home to movie stars, beautiful people, palm trees, sandy beaches and year round sun shine. Beyond all the glitz and glamour, Los Angeles is truly a destination that has it all for everyone and anyone. First timers can start with the usual suspects in famed Hollywood and neighboring Beverly Hills: Walk of Fame, Grauman?s Chinese Theatre, movie stars homes, Rodeo Drive and various studio tours including Universal, Disney, Sony and Paramount. Then take a trip down Interstate 5 and see the original ?happiest place on earth,? Disneyland and surrounding entertainment parks such as California Adventure, Knots Berry Farm and Movieland Wax Museum. Next see and hear the sights and sounds of LA arts and performance at world renowned Getty and Norton Simon Museums (in Pasadena), and Hollywood Bowl. Cruise on down Sunset, Hollywood and Santa Monica Boulevards in a convertible to see and be seen. Finally, head to the ocean and relax, sunbath and surf on miles and miles of beautiful beaches. Don?t miss Will Rogers Beach where ?Bay Watch Babes? ran in slow motion while attempting to save drowning beach goers. And definitely don?t miss Venice Beach Boardwalk where unique and eclectic sideshows, vendors and folk arts are on full display; where the famous ?muscle beach? gym is located; and where 3 on 3 basketball competition was born and began airing on ESPN.
Experienced Southern California travelers can look forward to the jewels of Los Angeles: visiting and tasting authentic ethnic enclaves, sitting in a trendy sidewalk café waiting to be discovered, finding rare and eclectic items on Melrose Avenue, clubbing with celebrities in Hollywood and West Hollywood, playing beach volleyball with world class competitors at Manhattan Beach, visiting and smelling the only tar pit (La Brea) in the world, participating as a member of the studio audience in a variety of game and talk shows as well as sitcoms, walk the red carpet at a movie premiere in Westwood, and spend time on one of the original ocean luxury liners Queen Mary.
No where else in the world can people ski on the slopes in the morning, sunbath on the beach in the afternoon, and sail the marina while watching the sunset at dusk. And the night is still young.
