Places to visit with Los Angeles
Where to stay in Los Angeles
Los Angeles may be synonymous with luxury, but its accommodations include not only some of the most opulent and expensive hotels in the world, but also budget-priced hostels and inexpensive inns. In Los Angeles, a car opens up a world of lodging options, allowing you to stay outside the city proper and still have easy access to most major tourist attractions. If you don't mind splurging, consider Hollywood or Beverly Hills. To save money, stay near the airport or in the eastern suburbs of the city.

Los Angeles
Although it's widely recognized as the center of the world's show business industry, things to do in Los Angeles include a range of activities suited to more than just movie buffs. You'll probably want to explore Universal Studios Hollywood, but when you're ready to divert your eyes from film stars and direct them to those glimmering in the night sky, be sure to visit Griffith Observatory. You can always surprise your kids with a trip to Disneyland Park, but if you're more interested in fine arts, don't miss the remarkable collection housed at Getty Center The Publications.
