Description

With one of the most dynamic dining scenes in the country, and a wide variety of restaurants, bars and clubs, you’ll never struggle on how to spend your evenings. Get all dressed up and head to The Perch for fine dining and cocktails, or keep it relaxed with a lunch at the famous In-N-Out burger bar. Once you have filled your boots with the best food in town why not experience the cities club scene, keep it casual in one of the quieter bars or join the thousands of other party goers and head to West Hollywood for a night on the town.

During the day, take in the sights. Some of the most popular include the Griffith Observatory, the Getty Center, Union Station, Dodger Stadium and the most iconic, the Hollywood Sign. While you are in Hollywood, why not see how the other half live and take one of the famous tours around the stars homes? The tour will also take you to the Walk of Fame and the Chinese Theatre.

If you’re after rides and thrills then LA certainly delivers. Take a trip to Disneyland and enjoy endless days of fun with some of Disney’s most famous characters. Six Flags theme park offers some of the USA’s most daring roller-coasters. Universal Studios not only gives you an insight in to Hollywood’s world of television and movies, but it also has some great rides. Raging Waters is the cities best water-park, Legoland is ideal for little ones, and for movie buffs WB Studio Tour is the place to head.

For a day at the beach there are numerous options. Venice Beach is probably the most well-known, more for the eccentric people that congregate there, rather than the beach itself, but it’s definitely somewhere to check out – even if it’s just to people watch. Manhattan Beach, Long Beach and Huntington Beach are the city’s most popular, offering a more typical beach experience with various bars, shops and restaurants and each offering a stunning stretch of beach to enjoy. Santa Monica is also well worth visiting, with its famous pier, its stunning 2 mile long beach, and its relaxing vibe – this is what California is about.

Also a must… take a spin down the famous Mulholland Drive, boasting some amazing look out points and visit Rodeo Drive for a bit of designer shopping.
