When it comes to cool things to do, see and taste, there’s something new around every corner of Downtown LA. Experience world-class arts, entertainment, nightlife, shopping and more in this great city. One of the best things – and perhaps the most surprising – is its diversity. With many different neighbourhoods, each with its own pers -onality, Downtown LA is many things in one. From premier sushi in Little Tokyo to a concert in South Park at the STAPLES Center, from Olvera Street at Historic El Pueblo to the dazzling Jewelry District to the unique shopping in the Fashion District. Hollywood has long repr -esented the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry and millions of visitors come each year to pay homage to their favourite stars and perhaps even catch a glimpse of famous personalities. World famous icons like Sunset Strip, Melrose Avenue and the Pacific Design Center are a few of the attributes that define the city of West Hollywood. Although fun to explore on foot, the best way to see all of the sights is by taking a guided bus tour for an excellent overview of all the landmark attractions. Ideally tucked between cool ocean beaches and sunny mountain foothills, Beverly Hills lies along the north western edge of LA. Less than six square miles, Beverly Hills is a walking city where you can take a self-guided tour up and down Rodeo Drive or a tour of the many pieces of public art installed all over the city. Beverly Hills is also known as a garden city and many are open for public touring or for a morning jog to enliven the senses.
