The allure of Hollywood is enough to make L.A. a dream city. Sure it's
not a pretty place, but it's where you go to confirm what celebrity life
is said to be, a place to indulge in a little pampering, from the bar
to the beach to Beverly Hills shopping.
It's true: Everyone wants to come to Hollywood. And Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Venice Beach, Sunset Boulevard... Los Angeles is "the city of angels" but also the city of dreams. Those dreams are more often shattered than realized but nowhere else can they come true in a more fabulous way.
This is the home of the rich and famous, of Rodeo Drive shopping, of the Walk of Fame, of movie industry magic, sandy beaches, and West Hollywood's hipness... This is a city to see and be seen, of glitz, of the bold, and of the beautiful.
Joining the world-class entertainment and art scene is a growing number of extraordinary restaurants and dazzling architecture. Frank Gehry's concert hall is reviving downtown, and new hotspots are reinvigorating once run-down areas of Hollywood.
But this city made up of several cities is not exactly visitor-friendly. You'll need a car to get around, and standing in the middle of traffic will be part of the experience. Getting up close to the stars or pretending to be one will be your compensation.
