Los Angeles Major Attractions
Below is a list of all major attractions in the Los Angeles area. These are must see sightseeing highlights on your LA vacation.
| DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES: downtown LA is the commercial and cultural core since Los Angeles was a mere pueblo. You will instantly recognize downtown by its cluster of skyscrapers. There are seven districts here, all great attractions in Los Angeles. Some are historic. |
HOLLYWOOD: moviestars, glamour, palm tree-lined streets, and excitement in the air. If downtown Los Angeles is the city's historic center, Hollywood is its heart. Hollywood is most likely where your kids wil have the most fun in Los Angeles, so spend a couple of days and see all the atractions here. |
| BEVERLY HILLS: the major appeal as a visitor, will be strolling up and down Rodeo Drive, a scaled down version of New York's Fifth Aveneue, with palm trees. It's fun to window shop and browse the most exclusive boutiques in Los Angeles. There are also many fine Beverly Hills Restaurants to have lunch or dine in. |
SANTA MONICA PIER: this is the oldest pleasure pier on the West Coast. It opened in 1909. This most popular pier in the Los Angeles area, features an Aquarium, the historic Hippodrome, and an handcrafted carousel from 1922, restuarants, amusement games, shops, a ferris wheel, and a fresh fish market, as well as year-round entertainment. |
| VENICE BEACH: this is a Los Angeles attraction where anything goes. The oceanfront walk in Venice where street performers, from jugglers and mimes to musicians and comedians provide a sort of carneval atmosphere. The beach is great, but people come here mostly to watch the on-going circus. |
UNIVERSAL STUDIOS: Universal is the Los Angeles theme park/movie studio attraction to see. Be sure to ask for special values, such as the "All You Can Eat Pass". There are 3 recent additions based on blockbuster TV series, and artifacts with special effects displays from the latest to the earliest films from the Universal Pictures Film Library. |
