What's good to see in Los Angeles, I'll be coming from Ireland for two weeks at the end of August?

Answer 1

Skip Los Angeles... come to The OC and see Disneyland and the surfers in Huntington Beach!! (laugh).

Two weeks is a long time. Of course we have the beach, which you can compare to the beaches in Ireland.

In LA, towards the Valley, there's Universal Studios, and the City Walk. Parking is not free, but you can park at the bottom off Lankershim and take the shuttle up to the area. You can even try being in the audience in a TV or Game show by checking the "audiences unlimited" booth

If you write in advance, try getting tickets for the Tonight Show or the Jimmy Kimmel show, a national chat show here in the US.

The Chinese Theater in Hollywood Blvd has the famous hand prints, and if you're in town for a movie premiere, check out the celebrities walking down the red carpet.

Not too far from Hollywood Blvd, You can also go and see the expensive shops on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills or the famous Farmer's Market near the CBS studios.

If you like Comedy you can check out one of the many comedy clubs on the Sunset Strip. Check out the Hustler store, and if you are near the Flynt Publications building, sometimes you can see Larry Flynt's limo (you really can't miss the naked woman painted on the limo!).

In August the X-Games will be in the Staples Center in LA. Check that out!

LA has historical places to visit and ethnic places like China town and Olvera (little Mexico) Street.

And since its summertime you can catch a baseball game with the Dodgers or in Orange County you have the Angels.

In Orange County, about 45 minutes south of LA, is Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, the oldest theme park in the west, and home of "The OC" from the TV show.

The city of Huntington Beach is home of "surf city" where you can see the pro beach volleyball and the surf contests.

Half hour south of Orange County is Carlsbad which has outlet shopping, LegoLand (for kids really), and half hour south of that is San Diego and then Mexico.

There's some of the "must see" that I would suggest to someone visiting.

Answer 2

there are the la brea tar pits, the strip, umm night club, ( Key club, the palace, ummm i think they just closed Dublin's, ) there is Magic mountain ( theme park). Disney land ( but it's more for little kids, and is in Anaheim) Knotts berry farm (but its also by Disney land) There are museums and the beach and the zoo, there is staples center, (basketball or hockey) , there is .....the jewelry district and plastic surgery district, shopping is OK there, Just be prepared for crazy rude drivers, traffic and smog, if you go further south from LA there is san diego there is sea world, and zoos and in my opinion nicer beaches.. there are good resturants there but mostly i think it's over rated but i think it's because i live near it and have seen it

Answer 3

Gawd! Prepare yourself! I'm there now, waiting to fly to Hawaii.... crawling traffic, I got rear-ended, the air is brown ..... but: there's always Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, Universal Studios, The Queen Mary, great museums and galleries.
