The largest city in the state of California, Los Angeles is the home base of Hollywood and known as the Entertainment Capital of the World. Enthusiastic dreamers and established professionals alike flock to Los Angeles, whether to seek their fame and fortune or merely get a glimpse of the people who already have.
Sunshine is the norm in L.A., so tourists can expect fine weather much of the year no matter your activity of choice, be it shopping on Rodeo Drive, playing golf, or even taking a helicopter tour of the city. Especially hopeful tourists aim to get a glimpse of a star or two during their stay in L.A., which makes bus and studio tours especially popular. Scoring a table at a celeb-friendly restaurant like Nobu or finding your way into one of the hot-spots of Hollywood nightlife might be your best bet though.
There are a number of communities within L.A. that have made names for themselves without needing the umbrella of Los Angeles to get them in the spotlight, such as Venice Beach, Westwood, Bel Air, Pacific Palisades, and Brentwood. Without question, L.A. has something for everyone, though some of the biggest draws are landmarks such as Grauman's Chinese Theatre, the Hollywood Bowl, the Kodak Theatre, Chinatown, Hollywood Boulevard, the Hollywood Sign, Walt Disney Concert Hall, and so much more
