Los Angeles is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world. It is also one of North America´s most prominent cities and is the home of Disneyland, movie stars, films, fine restaurants and Sunset Boulevard. Los Angeles is a city that can be explored on any budget and there plenty of accommodation to choose from. There is so much to see and do in and around the city of Los Angeles that it's hard to know where to begin. Do a tour of the stars homes around Sunset Boulevard and pay a visit up to the famous sign high up on the Hollywood hills. Universal Studios or Disneyland are vital ingredients in any trip to L.A and are conveniently located just south of the city.

Like Las Vegas, the allure of L.A. -- for better or for worse -- is undeniable. Los Angelenos know their city will never have the sophisticated style of Paris or the historical riches of London, but they cheerfully lay claim to living in the most entertaining city in the United States, if not the world. It really is warm and sunny most days of the year, movie stars actually do live and dine among the commoners.

This part of the L.A. mystique -- however exaggerated it may be -- truly does exist, and it's not hard to find. In fact, it's fitting that L.A. is home to the world's first amusement park because it regularly feels like one, as the line between fantasy and reality is often obscured. From the unattainable, anachronistic glamour of Beverly Hills to the vibrant street energy of Venice, each of the city's diverse neighbourhoods is like a mini-theme park, offering its own kind of unique adventure. Drive down Sunset Boulevard and you'll see the billboards are racier, the fashions trendier, the cars fancier, the sun brighter, and the energy higher than any place you've ever been.
