Sights in Los Angeles, California
Los Angeles, California is a place of beautiful beaches, sunny
skies, and many popular attractions. Contrary to what most
people think, Los Angeles is a melting pot of culture and
history. While many of is attractions are geared towards
tourists and are sometimes cheesy and overpriced, there is no
reason you should enjoy them less. Explore L.A. as an informed
and knowledgeable traveler and you'll have a great time.
Hollywood Boulevard: One of the most popular attractions in LA,
Hollywood Boulevard was once home to the greatest studios and a
milieu of popular celebrities and visitors. Now, it is a street
lined with pricey souvenir shops and boutiques, as well as
generic, expensive restaurants. However, it is worth visiting
Hollywood Blvd's walk of stars and Grauman's Chinese Theatre.
They are two parts of historic Hollywood Boulevard that are
worth seeing and free to boot. Take a nice stroll down Hollywood
Boulevard and take in the sights. Universal Studios: Universal
Studios is a great place to come if you have kids. However,
while the rides are amusing, are not as great as they're made
out to be. Experience it once if you like, but if you're going
to shell out the cash, check out Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm,
take a lunch and drinks. You'll save a ton of money, energy and
time by doing so. Melrose Avenue: one of LA's most visited
locations, Melrose Avenue boasts expensive dining and lots of
shopping. Other than people watching, you can eat or shop while
waiting anxiously to catch one glimpse of a star. In reality,
you would have to go every day for at least a week to actually
catch a glimpse of anyone. Or you might pass a disguised
celebrity without noticing. Either way, you're probably in for
disappointment on the star-gazing end. Farmers Market: the
farmer's market at the Grove is an excellent way to enjoy your
trip to Los Angeles. Cruise for fresh fruit and veggies, awesome
food from local food stands, and if you're lucky you might see a
star or two. You are much more likely to run into a star
randomly going to the farmer's market in Hollywood than Melrose
Avenue. The Grove: the grove is a small shopping center with a
number of high end boutiques, good food, and an excellent place
for people watching and window shopping. There is also great
regular shopping, and there are some good deals to be had if you
nose around a little. If you're not in the mood to shop, step
over to the Farmer's Market next door and enjoy a piece of Los
Angeles' rich and vibrant history.
