Los Angeles, CA

About

Los Angeles needs no introduction as a world-famous destination known for its endless sunshine, golden beaches and television and movie industries. Tour the sights in Hollywood, an L.A. suburb long associated with glitz, glamour and big-name celebrities. Stroll the Hollywood Walk of Fame and, during a major film screening at the former Grauman's Chinese Theatre, stand outside to watch the arrival of the stars. You can shop like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman along Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills or perhaps dine with some of the rich and famous at Craig's, where everyone from Kim Kardashian to George Clooney has been spotted enjoying a meal. The shopping and dining opportunities are nearly endless in Los Angeles. There’s no shortage of thrills here and throughout the surrounding area, with many amusement parks like Universal Studios, Six Flags Magic Mountain and Disneyland.
