Los Angeles, California Overview

With attractions such as Universal Studios, Six Flags Magic Mountain, and Hollywood, people might limit Los Angeles to the land of entertainment, celebrity, and - no point in denying it - amazing sunshine. In fact, LA has much more to offer. The city's rich cultural fiber finds its way into all aspects of the city - arts, shopping, nightlife, and dining.

Like every major city, world-renowned attractions dominate LA's to-do list, but hidden local gems also await the adventurous spirit. Relax on the beach or ride a roller coaster. Listen to a symphony or enjoy a show at Walt Disney Concert Hall or Pantages Theatre. Dine at 5-star restaurants and clubs, catch a Lakers game, or visit the world-renowned Getty Museum. Whatever you want, Los Angeles abides. After all, that's what LA is all about: acceptance for novelty, creativity, and diversity.

Of course, you'll need to start somewhere. Some readymade, quintessential LA experiences to get your feet wet include star-studded activities like a Hollywood Walk-of-Fame-CityPass package; a look at the scandalous side of LA on a Tragic History Tour of Los Angeles; a trip to Disneyland or taking to the air and sea to see the city from a different angle on a helicopter tour, Friday Night Blues Dinner Cruise, or Tandem Paragliding in Malibu adventure!
