LOS ANGELES…California dreaming!
Los Angeles has it all.
Situated in Southern California, between the San Gabriel Mountains and the North Pacific Coast, the city of Los Angeles has a subtropical to Mediterranean climate, with approximately 300 days of sunshine a year.
Los Angeles is the second largest city in the USA after New York. It offers something for everyone, whether you are seeking entertainment, beaches, great food, buzzing nightlife or enticing museums. LA could also be part of a multi-centre holiday, to perhaps Las Vegas, San Diego, Santa Barbara or San Francisco.

3. LA EXPERIENCES
LA offers amazing sports…why not head to a baseball Dodgers game for a fun and unique experience or watch the Rams American football team at the SoFi Stadium for an unforgettable experience.
If you want to escape for a while head to Runyon Canyon, a public park of 130 acres, and one of our own personal highlights. The views are spectacular, and you may even spot a celebrity as we did! The Griffith Park, the world’s largest urban park is home to the art deco Griffith Observatory boasting superb views, exhibits and planetarium shows. Elysian Park is well worth exploring and has a beautiful wildflower trail.

Drive in Beverley Hills with its high budget boutiques.
Beach lovers are spoilt for choice. Head to Santa Monica Pier which opened in 1909 and is famously the last stop on Route 66, which originally went from Chicago to Los Angeles.
