Advantages: Touristy, Hollywood legends, a must do when you are in LA
Disadvantages: Dirty area, not glitzy at all

...for the Oscars. If you walk up the steps to teh viewing platform you get one of the best views of the Hollywood sign in all of LA. Fun for the kids as dressed up characters are always about, Superman, Batman, Marilyn Monroe but be warned, if you want your photo taken with them they really expect payment! But yes, be warned, Hollywood Boulevard is dirty, full of naughty shops and don't go there after dark as you are never sure who you might meet ... Read review

Advantages: Great place make dreams come true!
Disadvantages: Queues can happen

Ever since I was a little girl it has always been a dream of mine to go to Disney land, so with my trip to LA planned it was a perfect opportunity to go to the place "Where dreams really do come true" As soon as we walked through the gates the magic started, the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end as I walked up the Main Street with the wonderful fairy tale place in my sights, it really was an amazing feeling to be in Disney land!! With so ...
...where to start your journey but thankfully Disney is laid out by different zones for example, Frontier Land, The magic Kingdom etc so you can easily go from one to another without missing anything out. A lot of people think that Disney is just for kids but it really isn't, all of the rides where designed so that adults can also join in as well, we learned that Walt Disney wanted it to be a place for everyone to enjoy, and to share the delights with ...

Advantages: Great day out, loads to see and do!!
Disadvantages: Not so good for very young children

...I wanted to go to Universal Studios, I am a fan of the movies and this was an opportunity I was going to miss out on, a chance to see the sets from famous movies like Jaws and War of the Worlds, and many rides built around the movies like the Jurassic Park Ride. On entrance to the park you already feel like star with a red carpet waiting for you to walk down the excitement was overwhelming for me, this is a place I had wanted to go to for ages, it ...
...favorite things to do at Universal has to be the Studio Tour! It is an absolute must do! I am not sure if it should be described as a ride or a tour as it sort of covers both areas, basically you hope on a bus that takes you through the sets and scenes of some classic movies and you get see the action come to life before your eyes! War of the Worlds had to be one of the best sets to go through, such immense detail also Jaws and King Kong where great, ... Read review

Advantages: Great rides, fun for all ages, interesting,
Disadvantages: Expensive but well worth it

...use for money off. Universal Studios is an all day event so make sure you get there when it opens. Driving there is really easy as it is jsut off a major freeway and then when you get there, and this is a classis, you can park in Jurassic Parking!!! First thing to do is definitely the studio tour tram as you get a complete view of the whole park and also see some very familiar sites, the Desperate Housewives street, the main square in Back to the ...
...beware, you will get wet on the Jurassic Park ride. After you ahve finished in the park do take time out to stay at City Walk (the shops and restaurants outside of the park). They are excellent fun, if what sometimes overrun with high school kids. BB Kings Blues Restaurant is great for music and the food is pretty good too. All in all a great day out. ... Read review

Advantages: Cool, hip and you may spot a few celebrities!
Disadvantages: Expensive, crowded

...one for the adults. The Sunset strip is an institution, so much Hollywood drama has happened on this street, you ahve to go, but go at night and be prepared to party. If you drive valet at Myagi's sushi restaurant at the top of the strip by Coldwater Canyon. I think it's still only $3 to park for the whole night. Then go into the restaurant, in my opinion they have the best sushi anywhere, their Crunch roll is to die for. Asl to sit on the top floor ...
...dinner head to the Saddleranch, they do some excellent cocktails there. If you are feeling brave you can try riding the mechanical bull int he middle of the restaurant but beware, people will watch you. It's here that I saw David Beckham and Victoria out for dinner one night. After that head to the SkyBar, buy a drink (very expensive) and go sit out by the pool and people watch. A perfect summer evening thing to do. Then if it's a famous club you're ... Read review
