Sun-drenched beaches, red carpet glamour and hillside hikes – the options are endless on a holiday to Los Angeles.

Tinseltown

Tinseltown, La La Land, City of Angels and The Big Orange are just a few of the famous nicknames used to refer to Los Angeles, each capturing a different angle of this city’s diverse character and culture. Hollywood – the entertainment capital of America – shines bright in the West Coast city of LA. It’s no wonder that people flock to this city in search of fame and fortune. Don't miss the chance to walk in the footsteps of legends at the Chinese Theatre, where celebrity hand and footprints immortalize Hollywood's icons. Take a leisurely stroll along the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame, where over 2600 stars twinkle under your feet – all for free. If you time it just right, you might even rub elbows with an A-Lister during an induction ceremony. For the ultimate movie buff experience, head over to the Dolby Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard, where the glitz and glam of The Oscars® come to life. While scoring a ticket to the Academy Awards might be a stretch, you can still live out your Hollywood fantasy with a guided tour and even sneak a peek backstage.

Hollywood Hills

Los Angeles is not just about the glitz and glamour. It’s the perfect place to get outside and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the city. Take a stroll through the star-studded Runyon Canyon, a popular place for celebs to walk their dogs. Or venture into Griffith Park, a wonderland boasting an observatory, golf course and tennis courts. Rise with the sun to beat the heat or chase the sunset for that perfect pic. And even if hiking isn't your thing, scaling up to the Hollywood sign is a must-do adventure. Don't forget your camera for that epic selfie with the iconic landmark.

Thrill Capital

Film buffs and thrill seekers are taken care of at Universal Studios Hollywood™. Here is where the magic of moviemaking comes alive. You’ve got the well-loved Studio Tour, where you can explore real-life film sets and props, or go crazy on the heart-pounding rides. Some of the must-sees are the Wizarding World of Harry Potter™, Fast & Furious - Supercharged and Jurassic World™ - The Ride. For more excitement, whether you’re a kid or just a big kid at heart, check out Disneyland® Resort. It’s just a 30-mile drive from Los Angeles in Anaheim. Known as ‘the happiest place on Earth’, Disneyland® Resort is where you’ll find a magical mix of classic favourites and exciting new attractions. Hang out with your favourite Disney character, get soaked on Splash Mountain and hop on Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway.

There’s something for everyone, from hop-on, hop-off tours to exploring cultural museums and if you really want a taste of the celebrity lifestyle why not splash out on a helicopter tour of this famous city.
