Get some movie magic into your life with a trip to Los Angeles. The City of Angels is a popular destination for many, and has no end of attractions. The Hollywood sign is a familiar sight as it towers over the city. Grauman’s Chinese Theatre is one of the most famous theatres in the world, with many celebrities leaving their hand and foot prints in the concrete outside the theatre’s forecourt. Love shopping? Then give your bank account a real workout at the high end boutiques along Rodeo Drive, or get a great bargain from the Downtown area. It’s not just glitz and glamour here though. Los Angeles has a huge, multicultural population, which can be seen in neighbourhoods like Koreatown, Little India, Little Ethiopia, Little Armenia and other ethnic enclaves throughout the city. With so many creative types squeezed into this city, you’ll also find that Los Angeles has more than its fair share of museums. If it all gets too much, just escape to a beach, or hike up into the hills surrounding the city for some fresh air and spectacular views.

See

La Brea Tar Pits – See giant mammoths, wolves, camels and lions in the middle of Los Angeles! No, this isn’t the newest blockbuster from the Hollywood studios, just some of the exhibits inside the Page Museum. Thousands of skeletons and fossils have been unearthed from the tar pits over the last few decades. Visitors can watch volunteers and palaeontologists at work in boxes around the tar pits. The museum also features life-sized exhibits and dioramas of animals that have frequented the pits in the past.

Stay

The Brentwood Inn – Located in Brentwood, the Brentwood Inn is not far from the most of the city’s attractions, but offers guests a measure of tranquillity after a hectic day in Los Angeles. This charming inn has 21 intimate rooms that come with complimentary bottled water and internet access. The rooms have a very laidback feel, with clean white walls and simple, but luxurious furnishings. It’s not far from Santa Monica, making it very convenient if you decide to head to the beaches. Room rates start from £120, and include breakfast.

Eat

Grill ‘Em All Truck – This heavy metal-themed burger truck (their name is a pun on Metallica’s album Kill ‘Em All) has been winning plenty of praise from burger aficionados recently. Their burgers sport names like ‘Carcass’ and ‘Behemoth’, but don’t let that put you off. The ‘Behemoth’ lives up to its name by being a monster of a burger – cheese buns are stuffed with a thick, juicy beef patty, then topped with cheddar, beer soaked onions and slices of bacon. Enjoy it with a side of ‘H100s’ – deepfried potato and cheese bites – and you’ll be ready to rock all night. The truck moves around the Los Angeles area, but fans can find out where they’ll be next via Twitter.
