| In this respect LA is a little disappointing if you were looking for an American version of London or Paris. However there is still plenty to see and do, it just takes a little planning so that you are not spending your entire time in a traffic jam or driving endless miles across city.
Places To Visit
Angeles Crest Highway - A little out of the city this scenic drive twists and turns much like Mulholland Drive along the mountainous crest of the LA basin.
Long Beach - Home of the Queen Mary which can be toured.
Aquarium of the Pacific - Whilst in Long Beach the Aquarium of the Pacific is definitely worth a visit. From colorful corals and tropical marine fish to California Rays that come out of the water for you to pet and stroke like small dogs! Also a new shark exhibition is worth seeing
Dodger Stadium - Whether going to a ball game or not, the stadium is worth a visit. Top of the Park souvenir shop sells LA Dodger branded clothing and other baseball souvenirs. Parking is free on non-game days.
Griffith Park - A good vantage point from where you can see the cluster of skyscrapers making up the commercial downtown of LA and also the world-famous Hollywood sign.
Hollywood Boulevard Aside from the famous stars lining the sidewalk there is usually some form of street entertainment and always a hustle. At the Western end of Hollywood Boulevard is . . .
Mann's Chinese A must-see, even if it's much smaller in real life than you would have imagined! Famous foot/hand/etc. prints of those legendary Hollywood stars.
Frederick's Of Hollywood Also on Hollywood Boulevard is Frederick's flagship lingerie store, world-renowned. Includes a free museum of lingerie worn by stars of the silver screen
