5 Reasons to go to Los Angeles

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. 

3. Be blown away by Hollywood

Hollywood is without a doubt the Mecca of cinema. Give in to temptation and get caught up in its magic during trips to Los Angeles: take a stroll along the Walk of Fame and check out the stars of the world's most famous celebrities, take a photo with the giant Hollywood sign, go to the TLC Chinese Theatre to admire its pagoda architecture, and put your hands into the handprints of the stars, or why not visit the film studios and admire their mind-blowing décor, such as Warner Bros Studio or Universal Studio Hollywood. 

4. Soak up the art at the LACMA

LACMA, or the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is home to the country's largest collections of art. There are more than 130,000 pieces dating from Antiquity to the present day. From Latin America to Asia, via Europe, visitors are invited on a journey to discover art from every day and age. Before you go, make sure to strike a pose amongst the 202 lamps of Chris Burden’s Urban Lights installation.
