Sunny beaches, red carpet glamour and hillside hikes – it has to be holidays to Los Angeles.
LA baby
Tinseltown, La La Land, City of Angels and The Big Orange – Los Angeles has earned itself a few famous nicknames as an absolute icon of an American city. Hollywood – AKA the entertainment capital of the USA – shines bright in the West Coast city of LA. It’s the place people come to find their fame and fortune. Don't miss the chance to walk in the footsteps of legends at the Chinese Theatre, where celebrity hand and footprints immortalize Hollywood's famous faces, and take a stroll along the Hollywood Walk of Fame, where over 2,600 stars twinkle under your feet – all for free. If you time it just right, you might even run into an A-lister during an induction ceremony. For the ultimate film fans, head over to the Dolby Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard, where the glitz and glam of The Oscars® come to life. While scoring a ticket to the Academy Awards might be a stretch, you can still live out your Hollywood fantasy with a guided tour and even sneak a peek backstage.
Hollywood Hills
Los Angeles isn't just about the glitz and glamour. It’s the perfect place to get outside and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the city. Take a stroll through the star-studded Runyon Canyon, a popular place for celebs to walk their dogs. Or venture into Griffith Park, a wonderland with an observatory, golf course and tennis courts. Rise with the sun to beat the heat or chase the sunset for that perfect pic. And even if hiking isn't your thing, scaling up to the Hollywood sign is an absolute must.
Tours and more
The best way to uncover the real LA is to take a tour. There’s something for everyone, from hop-on, hop-off tours to exploring cultural museums, and if you really want a taste of the celebrity lifestyle, why not splash out on a helicopter tour of this famous city? For a more active vibe, try a cycling tour. Pedal down Route 66, stop and admire the celeb homes in Beverly Hills and Bel Air, and cruise along Santa Monica and Venice beaches. For foodies, grab a bite at one of the famous taco trucks in East LA, or switch things up with a fancy meal in Beverly Hills.
Best time to go to Los Angeles
Los Angeles is an all-year-round destination. It has a subtropical climate, meaning it's mostly sunny and dry, with mild temps even in the winter months meaning it’s perfect for exploring. The city sees around 300 days of sunshine every year, so beachgoers and sun seekers won’t be left disappointed. Spring is the ideal time to visit LA, March to May sees warm temperatures – hovering around the low-to-mid-twenties – but with fewer crowds, you can see the sights without the queues. There’s no surprise that the summer months, June to September, are when things really ramp up with soaring temperatures, little-to-no rainfall and festivals galore – expect a city buzzing with action and tourists flooding in to hit up the beaches and bars.
