Los Angeles
Los Angeles, the 'City of Angels' is the undisputed entertainment capital of the world and an essential stop on any itinerary of California and the Western USA. It offers an endless array of sightseeing, including Universal Studios Hollywood®. Los Angeles is a sprawling city of distinctive neighbourhoods, so do choose your hotel carefully. Head for Hollywood to see the famous sights associated with the movies, or West Hollywood for the nightlife of Sunset Strip. Beverly Hills and Bel Air are good for celebrity-spotting, whilst the popular beachside suburbs such as beautiful Santa Monica combine a citybreak with the relaxed lifestyle that has become synonymous with Southern California.
Hollywood
Though no longer home to the film studios, Hollywood is still intrinsically linked with movies and all the glamour of Tinseltown. Stroll the Walk of Fame' along Hollywood Boulevard and explore the Kodak Theatre (the new home of the Oscars) and Mann's Chinese Theatre, or catch the metro up to Universal Studios for a behind-the-scenes glimpse at movie-making techniques combined with thrill rides galore!

Enjoying something of a rejuvenation in recent years, downtown Los Angeles is increasingly popular with visitors thanks to its good value for money and excellent public transport links. Loft conversions and new apartment complexes have led to a renaissance of the nightlife and restaurant scene, and the stunning Walt Disney Concert Hall offers entertainment as distinctive as its architecture.
