Los Angeles
Celebrities, movie cameras, and persistent paparazzi may be the hallmarks of present-day Los Angeles, but the second largest city in the United States has a rich and varied history that extends far beyond the glitter of the silver screen.
LA is the entertainment capital of the world, a cultural mecca boasting more than 300 museums, and a paradise of good weather. From tourist attractions like the Walk of Fame to the largest historical theatre district on the National Register of Historic Places- Los Angeles is definitely the place to be.
This city is full of huge attractions- the most notable of which is perhaps Disneyland. There are also plenty of cultural institutions- like the world famous Getty Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art.
There is an extremely broad mix of people in the area from the outrageously glamorous and the exuberantly wealthy- to hippy health stores advocates- who altogether make LA’s bustling streets perfect for people watching.
As the entertainment capital of the world- it goes without saying that LA has an abundance of nightlife on offer from night clubs to comedy clubs- not to mention the thousands of bars that stretch along the streets catering to any style and choice of music to match your preference.
LA is also a shopper’s paradise but it comes quite costly. All the major labels are on every corner- as are souvenir stores. If you’re on a tight budget you’ll probably still want to window-shop around Tiffanies and Barneys- just to have a brief dabble into this immersive commercial culture.
