As a place where cinematic magic is made, the glitz and glam of LA is sure to reel you in and leave you star-struck. From Beverly Hills to Rodeo Drive, the birthplace of the world’s most successful movie studios invites you to be a part of the world’s most rich and famous community. As you strut down Hollywood Boulevard or party on Sunset Strip, you’ll undoubtedly be brushing shoulders with the stars. However, LA is more than just Hollywood; head to the coast, and instead of Manolos and Lamborghinis, you’ll find bikinis and surfboards. That’s right, coastal neighbourhoods like Santa Monica, Venice, and Long Beach will show you a much less refined but much more vibrant and free-spirited side to the city.
