Cinephiles, adventure-seekers, road-trippers, wellness-worshippers: whoever you are, you’ll find your people in Los Angeles. California’s busiest, largest city is one of the most creative places in the world, with more writers, actors and musicians making their way here than anywhere else on earth.
Los Angeles doesn’t have one city centre – instead, it’s full of fun neighbourhoods. Your job as an adventurous tourist is to take them all in on your holiday. When your flight touches down, pick up your hire car and start on the coast, from Santa Monica beach, with its famous pier-top Ferris wheel, to Venice Beach, where outdoor gyms provide muscle-bound spectacles. Follow the surfers down to Huntington beach for some of the best waves on the coast. And if you want to drive further out – well, what’s stopping you? Use our multi-centre trip builder to plan a bigger adventure. Chase the coastline to San Diego: it’s sunny all the way down. From this massive city, the possibilities are endless. You’ll never see all of Los Angeles – but you’ll have fun trying.
