Los Angeles

Los Angeles is grand, sprawling, and impossible to ignore. It’s a city of superlatives: the entertainment capital, the land of diverse dreams, cultural experiments, endless sunshine, and ambitious reinvention. Los Angeles is many cities in one - beaches (Santa Monica, Venice), hills (Hollywood Hills, Griffith Park), valleys (San Fernando), packed urban cores (Downtown), creative enclaves (Silver Lake, Echo Park), coastal luxury (Malibu), and working class, immigrant neighborhoods that give the city its grit and soul.

What makes LA special is its scale and diversity: people from all over the world, dozens of distinct neighborhoods, a juxtaposition of glamour and everyday life, art & film & music mixed with food culture, surf & soccer & hiking & wellness. It is a place where you can see the red carpet and the street art, the luxury boutiques and taco trucks, luxury mansions with sweeping vistas and urban sprawl that stretches for miles. In Los Angeles, the weather is often part of the show: golden hour light, palm trees, ocean breezes, dramatic sunsets. The culture is aspirational, creative, loud, textured. Travelers can expect traffic (yes, a lot of it), big distances, but also huge rewards: world-class museums, food from practically every cuisine, theater, live music, film history, outdoor adventures (from beaches to mountains), nightlife, wellness culture (yoga, hiking, spa), and perhaps most of all - the energy of possibility.
