Number one for most Los Angeles visitors is Hollywood, home to America’s film, television and music industries. Here you can follow the star studded Walk of Fame or visit an active film studio. In nearby Beverley Hills you will find the luxurious homes of the stars, as well as the fabulous shops and restaurants of Rodeo Drive.

For Baywatch fans, the trendy beach resorts of Santa Monica, Laguna and Venice Beach are well worth visiting, or head to the lively surf town of Santa Barbara on the coast north of LA.

You can use the Metro system or taxis to get to most of LA’s top attractions. However, with a good system of toll-free freeways, a car is usually more convenient, particularly if you are exploring out of the city.

Tip: Rush hour traffic is from 07:00 to 09:00 and 15:00 to 19:00, so to make the most of your trip, spend each day in a specific area to minimise travel time.
