Going On A Los Angeles Vacation - Top Five Destinations

By Jewel Chesson


Los Angeles is a city that's difficult to navigate, especially if you're a tourist. Most people live and play in the cities around Los Angeles, not in downtown L.A. itself. There are many surrounding cities in the Los Angeles area, which include, but are not limited to chintzy destinations like Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, or surfer's paradise-type cities like Santa Monica and Manhattan Beach. And, of course, don't forget Anaheim, where Disneyland is located. So you might want to read this quick guide if you're planning to go on vacation in Los Angeles -- it's best to stay in one city to maximize your trip, so read on for some helpful hints.

Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills, of course, is a place renowned as a long-time bulwark of bourgeoisie in California, with all those stately celebrity mansions. Beverly Hills also offers amazing shopping and beautiful hotels which cater to stars. The year-round sunshine and incredible homes make this part of Los Angeles a wonderful place to stay.

West Hollywood

West Hollywood is where you can find Sunset Strip, which is fairly close to the rest of L.A. and a great example of Angeleno culture and history. The Sunset Strip offers dining, shopping and nightlife that are legendary. West Hollywood is also where you can find the Pacific Design Center, along with a plethora of art galleries and showrooms that would be a treat for anybody who appreciates good art.

Santa Monica

With the huge number of celebrities that consider themselves regulars of this city's nightlife scene, the breathtaking beachside and "all-time" nighttime environment, Santa Monica is one of Los Angeles' most beautiful and popular surrounding cities. Feel free to take in the nightlife by having a great time at one of the many bars and restaurants, but remember, parking can be a challenge! To avoid problems with finding parking, take a taxi or a limousine.

It wouldn't hurt to take a limousine while at Los Angeles, because it can be quite affordable; this is the exact opposite of what you may be accustomed to seeing and thinking. L.A.'s top limousine services would normally charge customers on an hourly basis. Compare different limousine rental services to find out their rates and perks -- if you do your homework then you can get a great price. Booking early, like about two or three days early would be a good way for you to take advantage of even lower rates.

Manhattan Beach

Manhattan Beach is 3 miles from Los Angeles International Airport, on the south end of Santa Monica Bay. The beautiful 928-foot pier at the end of Manhattan Beach Boulevard offers year-round fishing. The pier also has an aquarium and marine studies lab, free to the public.

Anaheim

Finally, on our list of top five destinations, is Anaheim, a perfect place to take the family. Here you will find Disneyland, the jewel in Disney's Southern California crown. This is a great place to bring your family to spend the day with the Disney characters and riding classic rides like Space Mountain. But don't leave Disneyland until you and the family have seen the fireworks and the parades.
