When visiting California, you should definitely take the opportunity and go to Los Angeles. LA is a sprawling Southern California city and the center of the nation’s film and television industry. Near its iconic Hollywood sign, studios such as Paramount Pictures, Universal and Warner Brothers offer behind-the-scenes tours. On Hollywood Boulevard, TCL Chinese Theatre displays celebrities’ hand- and footprints, the Walk of Fame honors thousands of luminaries and vendors sell maps to stars’ homes. Since we drove all the way from Palm Springs to LA we definitely had to narrow our list of spots in and around LA down to a few, even though we tried to fit in a lot we still needed time to get around the city. It is not as easy as it is in NYC because you’ll need a car – which leads to a lot of traffic.
