Perfect place to give yourself the star treatment!

People will say a city is nice to visit, but they wouldn't live there. Los Angeles is the opposite: millions of people call it home, but not many people think to visit. It's the perfect place to give yourself the star treatment!

Los Angeles is famous for famous people. Thousands of actors, musicians and artists live and work within the city. As a result, LA is home to hundreds of theatres, concert halls, clubs and museums. Check out the gorgeous Walt Disney Concert Hall designed by Frank Gehry, the extensive Getty Museum, the legendary Roxy Theatre, and the classic Grauman's Chinese Theatre. While in Hollywood, make sure to take the Hollywood Walk of Fame commemorating hundreds of celebrities within the entertainment industry. To continue the celebrity feeling, head to Beverly Hills' Rodeo Drive for chic boutique shopping and star-sightings.

If your trip to LA also includes family, there are plenty of activities to keep young minds engaged. The Griffith Observatory offers year-round exhibits and stunning visual presentations of the universe, while the Los Angeles Zoo is home to over 1000 different creatures, including 29 endangered species. The La Brea Tar Pits in downtown Los Angeles are amazingly unique: thousands of fossilized skeletons of various ancient animals, including massive mammoths, have been uncovered within the tar pits. The skeletons are on display at the Page Museum directly adjacent to the pits.

Expand your Los Angeles trip to San Francisco by driving the scenic route along State Highway 1 - The Pacific Coast Highway. Take in breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean while stopping at various beaches along the way, catching a spectacular west-coast sunset on the sand. Sounds like California dreamin'!
