Los Angeles – the capital of entertainment
Los Angeles, America’s second largest city and the biggest in California, was founded in 1821, and was once a part of Mexico. With getting on for 300 days of sunshine a year it’s warm and dry – as a base for exploring the rest of California, and as the hub of the US film and music industries. There’s so much to see here – from Chinatown to Hollywood Boulevard, from the Hollywood Bowl to the Kodak Theatre. And, of course, you won’t want to miss out on the world famous Sunset Strip, or the Walk of Fame. Home to Hollywood, LA has long been a big draw for actors, as well as writers, producers, directors and others involved in making movies. So, if you love the movies, you’ll be enthralled by this stardust-sprinkled city.

Travel in Los Angeles
Many visitors to LA say that the best way to travel around is by car so hiring a car is possibly the best option on your Los Angeles holidays. This is because the public transport system can be extremely time consuming. The upside to the transport system though is that it is very cheap and you can get all around LA on the Metro system for just $5. The Holly Trolley is also a handy little service for getting up and down Hollywood Boulevard.
To get from LAX to Hollywood, your best bet is to get the Union Station FlyAway bus to Union Station and then get the Metro to Hollywood from there.
