LOS ANGELES
Dining
Wherever you go to eat, you'll find variety, innovation and celebrities. The Ivy and Koi in Beverly Hills, plus Ago on Melrose Avenue have huge star-spotting potential. Matsuhisa in Beverley Hills is celebrity chef Nobu Matsuhisa's LA restaurant.
Culture
Families make a beeline for Disneyland and Universal Studios. Everyone else loves the Hollywood Walk of Fame, celebrity tours, the Getty Centre, and, of course, the beaches - from trendy Santa Monica to bohemian Venice Beach.
Shopping
Malls dominate the LA shopping landscape; Westside's Golden Triangle district holds many of the fanciest. For the definitive LA shopping experience, head for the famed Rodeo Drive and Melrose Avenue.
Getting around
An efficient subway and light rail system hits many of the major area attractions but cars remain by far the most popular mode of transport.
