Whether you think of it as "The City of Angels" or as "Lalaland," Los Angeles is undoubtedly one of the world’s great cities. Home to Hollywood, Disneyland, several world-class museums and an unbeatable climate, Los Angeles is a world unto itself. If no one in the family can agree on what kind of vacation to take, LA could just be the answer.
One thing EscapeWizard.com loves about Los Angeles is that it is easy to get to. Flights from just about anywhere on earth make their way into Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), an airport so vast it is actually larger than the country of Monaco, but LA is also serviced by several smaller airports on example would be the Long Beach Airport (LGB). To book your flight to the city of the stars with EscapeWizard.com, simply follow this link (www.escapewizard.com/flight.php). Need a place to stay? EscapeWizard.com makes it easy, just go to our hotel page (www.escapewizard.com/hotels.php?flag=htl) and we’ll help you find accommodation to suit your taste and budget. Here at EscapeWizard.com, we highly recommend the Crowne Plaza for an amazing stay in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles is an enormous metropolitan area, and lacks a compact center like Manhattan, so it’s easy to become lost or overwhelmed. But EscapeWizard.com is here to help. Where you want to begin will probably depend on why you’ve come to LA, so EscapeWizard.com can give you the breakdown by interest.
Showbiz: Admit it, you want to see stars. Glitz. Hollywood. It’s all here. Head down to the corner of Hollywood and Vine and find your favorite actor or actress’s star in the sidewalk. At the famous Grumman’s Chinese Theater you can see their footprints set in cement. Over on Sunset Boulevard you can book a tour of the stars homes or, if you want to go it alone, buy a map from one of the many street vendors selling them up and down the Sunset Strip. Still want to see the real thing? Stroll up Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hill’s shopping street for the rich and famous. Stare into the window of Tiffany’s long enough and you never know who you might see wandering inside.
Culture: LA doesn’t have a reputation for being highbrow, but the list of museums and cultural events is staggering. No visit to LA would be complete without seeing the LA County Museum of Art, whose collection from ancient Egyptian and Chinese pottery through modern works of artists such as Roy Lichtenstein and Chris Burden. But other EscapeWizard.com favorites are the La Brea Tar Pits with its collection of fossilized mammoth and saber tooth tiger bones and the stunning Getty Villa, an amazing collection of ancient art set in a reproduction of a Roman Villa in Herculaneum.
Shopping and Nightlife: Los Angeles has some great shopping areas, and visitors are spoiled for choice. For a pleasant day out, try Old Town Pasadena or Santa Monica’s Third Street Promenade, both packed with interesting shops and great restaurants offering a variety of world cuisines. If your tastes are on the more funky side, Melrose Avenue has a selection of fashion, body art accessories and urban bric-a-brac that can’t be beaten; and after dark, head to the Sunset Strip for a wide selection of bars and clubs, including several famous live-music venues. Or for a more mellow evening out, take in the laid back beach town atmosphere of Santa Monica and Venice.
Kids: If you’ve got them, you’d better keep them happy. EscapeWizard.com suggests you plan a day out for Disneyland to avoid having the little ones rise up and revolt, but Los Angeles for kids doesn’t begin and end at the Magic Kingdom’s gates. The Huntington Gardens is a wonderful spot for both children and adults, and kids will love the Children’s Garden with its numerous water features and hands-on activities. For older children, there are a variety of other theme parks such as Knott’s Berry Farm or Universal Studios, and an afternoon of rollerblading at Venice Beach can be fun for the whole family.
Whatever you’re looking for, EscapeWizard.com can assure you that you’ll find something to your liking in the vast and varied city of Los Angeles.
