One of the best places in the world to visit is Los Angeles, California.  Los Angeles travel is easy and fun on so many levels!  It’s easy to get here, easy to get around, and there are so many incredible things to see!

Travel to Los Angeles: Probably the best and easiest way to get to LA is by plane.  There are five convenient airports that service the Southern California area.  The first, and most well known, is of course Los Angeles International, also known as LAX.  Because of the volume of flights that come through here, this is where you will often find the best deals on flights.  However, depending on the area of Los Angeles that your trip will be concentrated in, you might be better served by one of the smaller airports - Burbank (BUR), John Wayne (SNA), Ontario (ONT), or Long Beach (LGB).

What to Do in Los Angeles: There are countless activities you don’t want to miss during your trip to the Golden States’ biggest tourist attraction.  Within the city itself, you will want to make sure that you see the Griffith Observatory, Universal Studios, the La Brea Tar Pits and the LA Zoo.  In glamorous Hollywood, just north of LA, you will want to make sure that you see the Walk of Fame, including the famous Chinese Theater, and the big, new Hollywood and Highland complex.  West of Hollywood, out to the beaches, you will want to spend at least a day exploring the gorgeous beachs of Malibu, the Santa Monica Pier and Third Street Promenade, and artsy Venice Beach.  Lastly, if amusement parks are more your style, you will be thrilled to know that within an hour’s drive of Los Angeles, you can find Disneyland and California Adventure, Knott’s Berry Farm, and Six Flags Magic Mountain.

Where to Stay in Los Angeles: LA offers a bounty of hotel and motel options, from the forty dollar a night range all the way up into the thousands.  Whatever you plan to spend, you can find lodging to accommodate your style and budget.  There are also many pet-friendly hotels and motels in Los Angeles, if your furry friend is planning to accompany you on your vacation jaunt.  You have your pick between all of the major hotel chains, as well as many of the most accommodating and interesting boutique hotels to be found in any city in the world.

Where to Eat in Los Angeles: While not widely known as being one of the big “food cities” of the United States, LA offers some of the most scrumptious dining to be found anywhere.  Where it really excels is in ethnic food.  Because LA is such a diverse melting pot, you can find one hundred percent authentic food here from almost any culture you can imagine - Thai, Italian, Mexican, Persian, Ethiopian, Chinese, Indonesian, Japanese - you name it!

Although this is a taste of what you will experience when you visit the City of Angels, it is far from the whole story.  You simply have to come and see it for yourself!
