Los Angeles is one of the best places in the world to visit, and there are so many experiences to be had here. This is such a diverse place full of all kinds of cultural significance, and you need to be sure you make the most of it. So, here are some of the best ideas that are going to help you understand everything you need to know to make the most of an unforgettable trip to Los Angeles this year.
Why LA?
There are so many reasons why a person might want to visit LA, and it is certainly one of the shining beacons of California. The City of Angels is the second-most populous city in California, and you will find people from all walks of life here. In addition to the culture, and the locals, there are some truly stunning beaches in Los Angeles, and this is something that you need to make the most of. In addition to this, there is also an immense shopping scene in LA, perfect for maxing out those credit cards! And that’s before we even get to the Hollywood side of things, which we’ll talk more about below.
Where to Stay
One of the big factors when it comes to your L.A. adventure is choosing where you are going to be staying. There is so much choice, whether it’s Airbnb, a cheap motel, or a luxury hotel. L.A. has plenty to offer the intrepid traveler, and getting your accommodation right can have a major bearing on the way your adventure pans out. Picking a hotel in Hollywood, Los Angeles puts you right in the middle of the action and allows you to experience some of the best areas of L.A. without having to stray too far from your accommodation.
Be warned, that sometimes paying more for a more central hotel is worth it because of something I know a lot about because I’m from Atlanta… traffic.
What to See
There is an awful lot to see and do in Los Angeles, and one of the main draw here for tourists is the fact that this is the heart of the Hollywood film industry. Taking a trip to Hollywood’s Walk of Fame is an experience you’ll want to document via camera. You also need to think about heading on a pilgrimage (hike or horseback!) to the Hollywood sign, one of the most iconic landmarks in America. Then there is Santa Monica Pier, where you can enjoy a peaceful stroll by the ocean – wonderful.
Los Angeles is one of the best-known and most popular cities in California, and there is so much to see and do here. There are countless reasons to improve the way you experience LA, and a lot of this is down to the things you can see and do here. The home of Hollywood is bound to be a glamorous place, full of adventure, it’s just down to you to discover it.

Where to Eat
I’m not a foodie by any means, and I’m a picky eater, so I’m not going to waste your time with half-hearted suggestions. HOWEVER. There is the donut shop that you may recognize from Wayne’s World. I always try and make sure I grab a doughnut on the way to the airport 🙂 Worth it! It doesn’t hold a secret elite fighting force training facility like in the movie, but the doughnuts are pretty good.
