Los Angeles

The myth, the velocity, the edginess in creative and technological fields – this is Los Angeles, where the multicultural future that awaits the rest of the country is already a firm reality. In little more than 200 years, LA has grown from a dusty Spanish outpost into one of the world’s largest and most complex cities offering top venues for everything from archaeology and the arts to food. The birthplace of Mickey Mouse and Hollywood, LA has shaped the imaginations of millions.

  • This home is distinguished by a very wide covered porch, which keeps out the heat as well as the light, giving the house a rather sombre appearance.

  • This vast and trendy Hollywood and Highland club (see Hollywood & Highland) boasts several dance floors and a Wolfgang Puck restaurant.

  • The Hollywood Sign on Mount Lee

    See it from Beachwood Drive (north of Hollywood Boulevard)

    or other locations

  • One of the US’s oldest comedy clubs.

  • Robin Williams has tickled funny bones at this famous haunt with eatery.

  • The air at this rustic French restaurant is electric with the buzz of Hollywood’s power players. Deals are struck daily between movie moguls, celebs, agents, and their high-profile clients. Count yourself fortunate if you manage to score a table on the fenced-in patio table for great people and celeb watching.

  • The stained-glass entrance door, the clinker brick wall, and the pergola are the only surviving Greene & Greene elements of this extensively remodeled home.

  • This upscale coffee shop serves delicious home-style cooking, including omelets and hearty French onion soup. Family-friendly and open 24 hours.

  • Features big name acts and promising newcomers of all ethnic backgrounds.

  • Edgar Degas (1834–1917) was fascinated with dancers, and this exquisite sculpture is one of his finest. The figure is partly painted, dressed in a tulle skirt, and has been given real hair.
