Los Angeles is Teeming with Things to Do
Although the sheer size of Los Angeles can be intimidating to first-time visitors, the fact that it is so sprawling in nature also means that there are activities suited to just about every taste.
Cultural Attractions: As the standout museum in Los Angeles, a visit to the Getty Center, which boasts beautiful architecture, fascinating art collections, gorgeous gardens, and breathtaking views of the city, is always unforgettable. The Museum of Contemporary Art in downtown L.A. along with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) are two other excellent options you might want to consider.
Tourist Sights: Los Angeles is filled with sights you’ve only read about in the tabloids, so grab your keys and set out for a day of gawking. You’ll find everything you need in Beverly Hills, where you can drive past posh estates in Bel Air and enjoy some upscale shopping on Rodeo Drive and Wilshire Blvd. Cooling your heels in a nearby coffee shop is also one of the best ways to spot your favorite celebrity.
Hollywood’s Hoorah: Soak in a little of that old Hollywood glamour with a stroll down the Walk of Fame and a tour of the Kodak Theater, home of the Academy Awards. You can also find an amazing view of the Hollywood sign at the Hollywood & Highland complex before heading over to the Hollywood Museum to supplement the sights with a little historical information. Before leaving the area, consider catching a movie at the old movie palace Grauman's Chinese Theatre (formerly known as Mann's Chinese Theatre).
After Dark: Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica comes to life once the sun has set, attracting street musicians and performers to this three-block stretch of pedestrian-only traffic. Lining the walkway are also shops, movie theaters, cafes, and various forms of nightlife to ensure your evening is anything but dull. A performance at the Music Center or the Walt Disney Concert Hall is another great way to end the day, just be sure to get tickets in advance.
Los Angeles mixes a little bit of everything to create a concoction that is satisfying to just about every visitor. No matter what you plan to see or what you expect to find, Los Angeles vacation rentals are the ideal option for surrounding yourself with the city’s rich and diverse character.
