The large metropolitan city of Los Angeles, set in the sunny climate of Southern California, offers leisure travellers an abundance of choices. Anaheim is home to Disneyland, the original Walt Disney theme park that preceded Disney World in Orlando. This suburban area looks much like its Lake Buena Vista counterpart. It features lots of hotels and motor lodges, strip malls, and restaurants – well-designed for a family holiday. Hollywood provides year-round satisfaction to tourists, with tours including Universal Studios and network TV studios. Make your way to the esteemed Rodeo drive, tour the homes of famous celebrities, dine at world-acclaimed restaurants, or spend an afternoon at Venice Beach or Marina Del Ray – whatever you desire, L.A. promises to please.
