The City of Angels, Los Angeles, is the second most populous city in the USA, with a real mix of ethnicities making up the almost 4 million people living in the city. It is one of those places that everyone in the world is familiar with to one extent or another. This is primarily due to its prevalence in popular culture - music, television and cinema mainly, where LA is the hub around which everything else seems to revolve. Who, for example, hasn't heard of Hollywood, Sunset Strip or Beverly Hills?
Los Angeles is also a particularly large city, covering an area in excess of 460 square miles, and with areas of interest all around the city, and beyond, it makes car hire a must have option. The distances to cover are impractical by other means.
One point that should not be left unaddressed is that of crime. The usual presentation of Los Angeles as a city full of gangs and violent crime is some way from the reality. Naturally there is an element of truth in that the city does have a gang culture within it, but only in small areas of the city. The days of South Central and nearby Compton being totally out of bounds are no longer.
LA is a city where there is so much to see and do, both by day and by night, that there is never enough time to fit it all in. It is a city of diversity, making it an ideal destination as there is something for everyone.

Los Angeles and palm trees are intrinsically linked via many years of images, but this may be about to change with a recent development by the city council. Take a look at the Los Angeles attractions page to find out all about it.
