Welcome to L.A., a city with an image and culture that is perceived from a viewpoint of fame, glitz and glamour – the Hollywood way. L.A. is littered with world-famous attractions and sites to visit and trying to decide on the best things to do during the course of your visit can be a bewildering task. If you’re only in town for a short time, you could spend the entirety of your trip wandering around L.A.’s essential museums without even making it to Hollywood. 

From Disneyland to Venice Beach and from museum hopping along Miracle Mile to outdoor adventure pursuits – this city has it all. L.A. is also one of the only places in the world where you can surf in the morning and ski in the afternoon – it is a rare land where you can experience sun, sea and snow. This city is vast and it is stuffed with so many worthwhile experiences that you’ll never be asking yourself what to do—so expect to put in the miles taking in everything it has to offer, from the beaches of Santa Monica to the vibrant historic streets of the Arts District and super-hip Silver Lake. 

You can surf in the morning and ski in the afternoon. With Downtown L.A. as your home base, we’ll show you several options that will make you the envy of your surfing and skiing friends and family. You’ll start your day in the beautiful Pacific Ocean, and finish your adventure in the stunning mountains above L.A. County. In addition to this, you can be a part of the glitz and glamour by strolling along the Hollywood Walk of Fame and go shopping on the world famous Rodeo Drive.
