Los Angeles. The City of Angles. The Entertainment Capital of the World. L.A.
It is hard to describe Los Angeles without using its nicknames, because they describe the city better than anything else. Los Angeles is not just a city, but a collection of all the best that the U.S. has to offer, and one thing is for sure; you will never be bored with a holiday to Los Angeles.
With just under 4 million inhabitants in the downtown area, Los Angeles is the U.S.’s second largest city located in the state of California. A holiday to the U.S. can easily take place just in Los Angeles, because there are unbelievably many different, interesting districts, attractions and much more. The nickname, “The Entertainment Capital of the World”, is due to the fact that every sixth person in Los Angeles works in the entertainment industry – this means that they are making movies, music, working as actors, dancers and the like. The name Los Angeles derives from the name that the Spanish settlers gave the city, when it was founded. Today, the city is still characterized by the Spanish culture, and there are large neighborhoods around the city in which there primarily live people, whose mother tongue is Spanish.
Hollywood is basically “just” a district in the northwestern part of Los Angeles. However, Hollywood was the place, where a great many movie studios were founded, and because of its massive influence on all cinematic arts in the U.S., Hollywood is used today as a collective word for the entire American movie industry. If you like movies just a little bit, you cannot ignore Hollywood on a holiday to Los Angeles. Here you can see the original movie studios, countless museums, the Dolby Theatre, where the Oscars is held every year, tours that honor the cinematic arts in the U.S., and many, many other things. Of course, it is also in Hollywood where you will find the world-famous hill with the giant, white Hollywood letters, that gradually have achieved an iconic status. If you go to Hollywood, you can get close to these letters – you can actually get up on top of them.
One of the things that is definitely worth seeing on your holiday to Los Angeles is Universal Studios Hollywood. Universal Studios, or Universal Pictures, is one of the six major movie companies in the U.S. Universal Studios was founded by a German named Carl Laemmle in 1912. In that way, Universal Studios is a genuine example of the American dream in practice. You undoubtedly know many of Universal Studios’ movies such as “Wanted”, “Apollo 13”, “Schindler’s List” and “Kick-Ass”. If you go to Universal Studios Hollywood, you can experience the inside of the legendary movie studios, record your own short films and be lucky enough to see some of the big movie stars. Anything is possible in Hollywood. Universal Studios Hollywood also has its own theme park with amusements such as “Terminator 2”, the simulator ride “The Simpsons Ride,” and a wealth of other rides. The theme park is one of the biggest in the U.S.
Rodeo Drive is the place where you can practice the ultimate window-shopping. Rodeo Drive is an entire district dedicated to stores, and you can actually find three entire blocks with stores up and down the street. On Rodeo Drive, you can find some of the world’s most iconic stores, such as Ralph Lauren, Giorgio Armani and Yves Saint-Laurent. With one single sentence, you can quite effectively explain what type of place Rodeo Drive is: There are no visible prices in the stores on Rodeo Drive. If you are shopping in Rodeo Drive, the prices are not something you are concerned about. Unless you have several thousand pounds burning in your pocket, you have to settle with window-shopping on Rodeo Drive, but that can also easily be an experience in itself. Rodeo Drive lets you enjoy the riches of the rich for just a moment.
