The first thing you should know about LA is - it's huge! The greater City of Los Angeles extends from the Hollywood Hills to the beaches of Malibu - from the boutiques of Beverly Hills to the celebrities on Wilshire Boulevard. And don't forget, Disneyland is just down the road!
With so many attractions, Los Angeles is the perfect vacation destination -- a tourism hot-spot with something for everyone!
The best way to travel the town is by car, so rent a convertible - it's almost always sunny here - and hit the freeways.
To get you started, here's a select-list of Travel Insider favorites:
Start with the tourist attractions on everyone's list, like Disneyland - Mickey's original home -just 30 minutes from downtown Los Angeles. Then head to Universal Studios in the San Fernando Valley - take the fun tram-tour - and don't forget to visit CityWalk. Then you can hit the fun and funky shops on Ventura Boulevard in nearby Studio City.
Local favorites include West Los Angeles - with its hip boutiques, the Getty Museum, and an awesome club scene; and Venice Beach - where you can stroll the boardwalk and enjoy the everyday carnival. And don't miss South Los Angeles where you'll see "one man's artistic fantasy" - Simon Rodia's incomparable Watts Towers. Finally, Pasadena - its Rose Bowl Flea Market is where LA shops for antiques and collectibles of all kinds.
Hungry? Popular LA area restaurants include East Los Angeles' Carnitas Michoacán where you'll want to order the carne asada taco - according to the Los Angele Times, "It's the taco you'll never forget!" In Hollywood, don't miss Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles - sure, a chicken/waffle combo may sound weird, but it's wonderful! And when frolicking at the beach, make time for Gladstone's Malibu where great seafood meets heavenly ocean views.
Los Angeles also has more than its share of glorious old hotels, too. In Hollywood, check out the Chateau Marmont - where the stars like to stay, and play. In Downtown Los Angeles, the guest list at the Biltmore boasts several U.S. Presidents, plus it's close to the Staples Center and the amazing Disney Concert Hall. Stopping in Beverly Hills? The unique Beverly Wilshire has long been a favorite of royalty - maybe because it's just steps from Rodeo Drive
