Los Angeles seems to be on most people's list of places they would like to visit. It is the home of many of the world's biggest celebrities, has year-round great weather and is full of an endless list of attractions and entertainment options. There is so much to do and see in Los Angeles that it's even difficult for those who live here to experience most of it. If you've decided to do something different than spend your vacation on Etobicoke decks and experience the sights and sounds of LA, this short guide should help get you started on where to go in the city.

For those coming into the city with their family, the theme parks in the area are definitely a must-see. Disneyland and Universal Studios Hollywood are both located in the Greater Los Angeles Area. You may not have much in common with your teen aged children and don't understand the R&B hip hop music that comes blaring out of their room every day, but everyone can get together and enjoy the experiences created by these amazing parks.

Hollywood Boulevard is also a stop that everyone should make on their trip to Los Angeles. This is the site of the biggest film industry in the world and it's sure you'll see some things that you recognize from your favorite movies. You can find your idol's star on the Walk of Fame outside of Grauman's Theatre and experience some of the amazing revitalization that has gone on in the area over the last decade. You can even get some souvenirs, like vinyl wall letters of a memorable movie quote, to take back home with you.

There are even some street names that bring up imagines of glamour to those across the world that are located in Los Angeles. Take a stroll down Rodeo Drive and window shop in some of the most exquisite stores in the nation. Sunset Boulevard is home to some of the top movie studios and goes from the ocean all the way through downtown. Mulholland Drive has one of the best views in the city. If you spend your days as a normal Durham Region Caterer or Ohio schoolteacher, maybe it's time to live like a celebrity for a day and see the things that they see.

You can't experience Los Angeles without taking a trip to the beach and the South Bay beach towns. There are many to choose from and you can either opt for a day sunbathing or experience the shops and restaurants along the water's edge. Santa Monica Beach and Pier is also a very popular location for anyone coming into the area. You'll never experience something like this at a Toronto bed & breakfast, that's for sure!
