Los Angeles

Los Angeles is a city of distinct neighbourhoods, where old-Hollywood dining rooms, inventive Eastside kitchens and Pacific-facing cafés are linked by sunlight, freeways and an enduring appetite for reinvention.

Best time to visit

Spring and autumn bring warm days, cooler evenings and clearer drives between the city, coast and hills.

Ideal trip length

5–8 days

Getting around

Los Angeles is best explored neighbourhood by neighbourhood; use a car or rideshare between areas, then walk locally in West Hollywood, Los Feliz, Downtown and Venice.
