1. Take a walk in Venice Beach

An essential stop for those wanting to explore the seafront, Venice is famous for being the main centre of the hippy movement. Today, its long cycle route, Venice-esque canals, street artists and body-builders, masseuses, atmosphere and colourful walls make it a hot-spot for tourists.

At the end of the day, take a moment to watch the surfers landing tricks in the waves with the backdrop of a setting sun. 

2. Catch a Lakers game at the Staple Center

Los Angeles is home to one of the country's top basketball teams, the Lakers. Make the most of trips to Los Angeles to take in the energy and thrill of American sports games. And for those that don't like basketball, the Staple Centre also hosts baseball matches and some great concerts.
