Praise be to the City of Angels! Home to the movie industry, a coastline of Baywatch-worthy beaches, and some of the world's most beautiful people, L.A. is a true Californian treasure. And with 325 sunny days a year, your Los Angeles vacation is bound to result in a tan!
First belonging to Spain, then to Mexico, Los Angeles became part of the United States in 184, following the Mexican-American War. With an estimated population of 3.8 million, this sunny city is famed for the traffic gridlocks that often erupt on its soup of superhighways: it's true that nobody walks in L.A.!
From Sunset Strip to Beverly Hills, your Los Angeles vacation package should include a thorough exploration of all the city's hoods: stroll the Venice Beach Boardwalk, sprawl on the sand in Malibu, and hang with the hipsters in Echo Park. Blow the budget at the Beverley Center - or on Rodeo Drive if you're really feeling ritzy - and pop by Grauman's Chinese Theatre to see the stars' stars on the Walk of Fame. Finish up your Los Angeles vacation with a dose of culture at the Getty Museum and pancakes at the famous Farmers' Market. Now you're a true Angeleno!
