Los Angeles

Los Angeles confirms and deconstructs all of its stereotypes. Sure, it's a sprawling metropolis with perpetually congested freeways, but it also has one of the most diverse and distinct neighborhoods in the country. The glamour of chic Hollywood name brands and movie set backdrops abound in La-La Land, but it's also home to renowned art galleries like the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and architectural marvels like the Getty Center. The world's visual entertainment empire, Los Angeles, provides tourists with behind-the-scenes access to the worlds of filmmaking and television broadcasting at studios such as Paramount Pictures Studios and Warner Bros. Studio.

Furthermore, the City of Angels has some of the most diverse cuisine in the country, as well as dozens of highly acclaimed restaurants. Away from the revitalized downtown area, the beaches of Malibu and Santa Monica offer sun, sand, and surfing, while Venice Beach provides close-ups of the city's most unique residents. Hiking and other outdoor activities are available at Griffith Park and the Angeles National Forest. The area is one of the most popular in the country, especially between June and October when thousands of visitors use their summer vacations to see as many LA attractions as they can.
