You may come from a small town. But no matter where you\u2019re from, it\u2019s guaranteed to feel like a cute little hamlet compared to the immense, freeway-laced and hill-draped sprawl of beautiful, weird, heart-stealing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/Los-Angeles.d178280.Destination-Travel-Guides\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Los Angeles<\/a>. You could visit this behemoth dozens of times without even repeating a major highway \u2014 so how do you plan a visit? Our advice: start with (very) specific destinations and work outward. We will look at four of the most \u201cLA\u201d of LA destinations: Anaheim, Malibu, Santa Monica and Laguna Beach, each of which you can use as a starting point for a customized foray into the wonderful madness of greater Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_25347\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25347\" class=\"wp-image-25347 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/iStock-898349722-e1523894759103-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Los Angeles, California\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/iStock-898349722-e1523894759103.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/iStock-898349722-e1523894759103-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/iStock-898349722-e1523894759103-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/iStock-898349722-e1523894759103-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-25347\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">With so many things to see and do in Los Angeles, it can get a little overwhelming. Let us guide the way!<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Anaheim<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you want to begin your trip to Los Angeles with dancing animals and exciting roller coasters, aka <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/g\/pt\/ms-disneyland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Disneyland<\/a>, book a flight to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/vc\/flights\/santa-ana-airport-sna-flights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John Wayne Airport<\/a> (SNA) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/Cars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rent a car<\/a>. Generally speaking, driving anywhere in Los Angeles can frustrate even the most patient among us, so spend the few extra dollars to land as close to your destination as you can. Once in Anaheim, though, don\u2019t bother spending extra on a hotel \u2014 chances are, with such wonderful parks abounding, you won\u2019t be spending much time in your room! That said, there are a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/Disneyland-Anaheim-California-Hotels.0-n800001-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">multitude of hotels<\/a>, from boutique to big-name, that can suit the bill, no matter your budget.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_25348\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25348\" class=\"wp-image-25348 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/iStock-151655247-e1523895244391-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Anaheim - L.A.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/iStock-151655247-e1523895244391.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/iStock-151655247-e1523895244391-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/iStock-151655247-e1523895244391-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/iStock-151655247-e1523895244391-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-25348\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Anaheim offers everything a kid could dream of \u2014 or can make adults feel like kids again!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>If you\u2019re traveling with children younger than 12, plan on spending at least three days at Disneyland. Knott\u2019s Berry Farm impresses older kids with fewer songs and more thrills, so substitute days there according to your particular family\u2019s interests. Entire books could be written about experiencing both of these parks efficiently, but good general rules include: buy tickets in packages and bring a big pen. (Costumed characters can\u2019t sign autographs with a small pen very well.)<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Anaheim has more than just amusement parks. Be sure to visit Angel Stadium \u2013 no matter where you sit, you\u2019ll have a great view of the park, so pack up the kids and head to a game! Another great non-park attraction, the K1 Speed Track, offers the most exhilarating go-cart racing of your life. (You must be 4 feet tall, though.)<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Malibu<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cAffluent\u201d is the polite word for it. No matter how large your travel budget is, there will be something in this town you can\u2019t afford \u2014 but that\u2019s OK. Half the fun is in simply being around those who belong in an episode of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. In addition to being able to tell your friends you\u2019re \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/Malibu-Hotels.d10217.Travel-Guide-Hotels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">staying in Malibu<\/a>,\u201d you can wake up next door to a Missoni or James Perse boutique. Maybe you won\u2019t buy anything, but who cares? Maybe you can gawk at celebrities &nbsp;buying something there, instead. High-end shops abound throughout town, but the Malibu Country Mart on Cross Creek Road brings around 60 of them together in one place for optimal window shopping.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_25349\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25349\" class=\"wp-image-25349 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/iStock-690598022-e1523895492629-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Malibu- L.A.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/iStock-690598022-e1523895492629.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/iStock-690598022-e1523895492629-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/iStock-690598022-e1523895492629-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-25349\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Feel like a celebrity (if only for a day) with a stay in Malibu.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Not everything in Malibu breaks the bank, though. The Getty Villa, an art museum whose architecture re-creates an ancient Roman country house, charges precisely nothing for admission, other than parking fees. Likewise, Zuma Beach has more than just a fun name, offering some of the whitest sands and best surf in Southern California for free. Again, though, parking costs.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Santa Monica<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A half-hour drive to the south, the beach city of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/Santa-Monica-Hotels.d3220.Travel-Guide-Hotels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Santa Monica<\/a> glitters with the most popular (meaning crowded) beaches in Southern California and has an artistic nightlife worthy of any 20-something\u2019s envy. The 105-year-old Santa Monica Pier has its own carnival from May to September called Pacific Park, which the kids will love. (And even if you\u2019re not traveling with children, you should still plan to take a nighttime ride on the Ferris wheel.)<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_25350\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25350\" class=\"wp-image-25350 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/iStock-908692956-1024x698.jpg\" alt=\"Santa Monica - L.A.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"698\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/iStock-908692956-1024x698.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/iStock-908692956-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/iStock-908692956-768x524.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/iStock-908692956-1080x736.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/iStock-908692956.jpg 1241w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-25350\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Santa Monica Pier is an L.A. icon that can&#8217;t be missed.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>For grownups, Santa Monica boasts a great variety of bars and clubs that will keep you busy all night long. Most of these sit along Santa Monica Boulevard within a few blocks of the Pier. The Bungalow Lounge, for instance, has a cool summer camp vibe (including ping-pong), while the Father\u2019s Office offers a terrific beer selection and a more adult, dark-wooded atmosphere.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Laguna Beach<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Just like a topographical lagoon, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/Laguna-Beach-Hotels.d8384.Travel-Guide-Hotels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Laguna Beach<\/a> lies peacefully on the other side of a small barrier from the churning lifestyle of LA. Unless you\u2019re already in southern Orange County, driving to Laguna Beach can take a while, even if you splurge on the $6 toll road on Route 73. Once you\u2019re there, though, you can finally relax \u2013 you\u2019ve reached LA\u2019s peaceful oasis. Laguna Beach feels like the Mayberry of the West Coast, with quaint small-town traditions that will make you feel right at home.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_25351\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25351\" class=\"wp-image-25351 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/iStock-878027792-e1523895851962-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Laguna Beach - L.A.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/iStock-878027792-e1523895851962.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/iStock-878027792-e1523895851962-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/iStock-878027792-e1523895851962-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/iStock-878027792-e1523895851962-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-25351\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Laguna Beach offers a peaceful escape from the bustle of L.A.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Meanwhile, the aforementioned \u201cbarrier\u201d is Crystal Cove State Park, a gem in its own right. Get to it by bus from the PCH in Laguna for just a dollar to avoid the stress of parking, and enjoy a day of climbing hills and strolling its unpopulated beach. Or if you prefer a more developed beach closer to restaurants (even if it means more crowds), Heisler Park impresses with many stone statues and a year-round abundance of flowers and succulents. Whichever beach you choose, head back to town for a dinner at Mare, a \u201cculinary lounge\u201d on the PCH near Cleo Street, with an imaginative menu and relaxed atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the convergence of dozens of already-large cities, most of what we call \u201cLos Angeles\u201d actually isn\u2019t \u2014 but that doesn\u2019t matter. As far as the locals are concerned, Anaheim and Santa Monica are just as much \u201cLA\u201d as Malibu and Laguna Beach, and whichever you choose to visit will provide an authentic, exhilarating experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may come from a big city.
