It’s the city of stars, both of the red carpet of Hollywood and the black carpet of the night’s sky. In the centre, you have Downtown Los Angeles, with its Institute of Contemporary Art and the Two Bit Circus. The Chinese American Museum and the Grand Hope Park are among other highlights here. As you move out towards the ocean, you’ll reach some of the prettiest and trendiest neighbourhoods in the city, from Venice Beach to Malibu. Relax and work on your tan on the sandy strands and take a dip in the water. Unwind on the pier of Santa Monica Beach, before taking to shopping in the upscale boutiques of the district.
