Los Angeles
All of its stereotypes are both supported and refuted by Los Angeles. True, it's a big metropolis with incessant traffic, but it also has one of the most varied and distinctive collections of communities in the country. La-La Land is overflowing with the glitz of upscale Hollywood name brands and backdrops from movie sets, but it's also the location of world-famous art museums like the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and architectural wonders like the Getty Center. LA, home to the largest visual entertainment industry in the world, gives visitors access to studios including Paramount Pictures Studios and Warner Bros. Studio, where movies are made and television shows are broadcast.
In addition, the City of Angels is home to some of the most diverse cuisines in the nation as well as numerous critically regarded eateries. Away from the redeveloped downtown, visitors may enjoy sun, sand, and surfing at the beaches of Malibu and Santa Monica while getting up close and personal with some of the city's most distinctive citizens at Venice Beach. Hiking and other outdoor activities are available in Griffith Park and the Angeles National Forest.
Despite being enormous—more than 500 square miles—and tiring to travel, Los Angeles, one of the Best Places to Visit in November, continues to draw tourists. The region is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the nation, particularly between June and October when tens of thousands of visitors utilize their summer vacations to take in as many of LA's attractions as they can. But making advance plans is the key to a successful trip to Los Angeles. Choose a few locations that best meet your interests and needs, or if you want a bit more help, go on a guided tour.
