A Traveler's Guide to Los Angeles

Lights. Camera. Action! The city of Los Angeles is home to America's thriving movie industry. But this is far from a one dimensional town. Some of America's most treasured landmarks are in Los Angeles. The "City of Angels" is located in a temperate coastal basin surrounded by picturesque mountains, valleys, forests, and beaches. The variety of topography makes Los Angeles a perfect destination for skiers, hikers, and beach bums alike.

The summertime is perfect for going to the beach and being outdoors because the weather is usually warm in the day and cooler in the evenings and at night. Winter is very mild in Los Angeles. On average, the city of Los Angeles gets approximately three hundred days of sunshine a year. This allows the tourist season to last year round.

Los Angeles International Airport is the primary airport in the metropolitan area of Los Angeles, however because the city is so spread out there are many smaller airports scattered throughout the surrounding areas that make getting to the different parts of Los Angeles much easier.
