You're Going to Love Los Angeles

If you love sunshine, showbiz, and shopping, Los Angeles is an unbeatable destination. The City of Angels has a unique appeal thanks to its superb climate, sandy beaches, and movie-making history.

You can tour showbiz sights and hear tales about the lives of celebrities, enjoy the thrills provided by rides at Universal Studios, or treat the kids to a trip to Disneyland California.

Fashion lovers also flock to LA for its boutiques. Hit the stores on Robertson Boulevard, and discover the latest designs by Chanel, Kitson, or Tommy Hilfiger, or head to malls like the Beverly Center.

It doesn’t matter whether you are there to shop, catch a glimpse of your favorite actor or perfect your tan, Los Angeles is a year-round destination like no other.

Top 5 Reasons to Visit Los Angeles

1. Hollywood

Across the world, Los Angeles is most famous for its movie industry. Check out the stars on Hollywood Boulevard, take snaps of the Hollywood Sign, watch a movie at the Chinese Theater or dive into the mall at Hollywood and Highland. You can also take guided tours of stars’ homes and the studios which launched their careers.

2. Family Attractions

LA isn’t always thought of as a family destination, but it should be. Kids will love getting to know the characters and experiencing the rides at Disneyland, while Universal Studios features attractions based on popular kids’ movies like Despicable Me and Shrek.

3. The Climate

Only Phoenix and Las Vegas can boast more sunny days a year than Los Angeles and the average temperature in the city is a comfortable 71 degrees. Rainfall is rare, storms aren’t a factor outside of the middle of winter, and the beaches of Santa Monica or Venice are almost always packed.

4. Art and Culture

It’s not all about blockbuster movies and Disney in LA. The city also has some excellent galleries. You can see Impressionist masterpieces at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, see Asian artworks at the Chinese American Museum (425 N Los Angeles St), or check out lesser known artists at contemporary galleries like Perry Rubenstein (1215 Highland Ave) or Marc Selwyn (9953 S Santa Monica Blvd).

5. Food

LA is the place to go for America’s best Mexican food, so be sure to taste the tacos at Guisados Tacos (2100 East Cesar E Chavez Avenue) or a bowl of chilli from Chili John’s (2018 W. Burbank Blvd). There’s plenty of Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Italian, Jewish, Greek, American, and even British-style pubs to discover as well.
