ESCAPES TO LOS ANGELES — WHERE THE CITY AND SCENERY SHARE THE SAME STAGE
Los Angeles is one of those places that feels familiar before you even arrive. You’ve seen the palm-lined streets, the ocean highways, the hillside homes and the skyline in films your whole life — but seeing it in person is something else entirely. Watching surfers catch waves at sunrise in Malibu, driving under the orange evening sky on the Pacific Coast Highway, or standing above the city at Griffith Observatory — LA creates those “this is real” moments again and again.
Already picturing it? Our USA specialists can start tailoring an LA escape around your style.
LA is a city of neighbourhoods, each with its own personality. Beverly Hills and West Hollywood for style and dining, Downtown for architecture and culture, Venice and Santa Monica for the beach-and-bike lifestyle, and the Hollywood Hills for views that look like a postcard. Just beyond the city, you find California’s other versions of “escape”: deserts in Joshua Tree, vineyards in Santa Ynez and Temecula, and dramatic cliffs along the Pacific.
And there’s more to Los Angeles than scenery. The city is a powerhouse of film, music, art and design. You can tour iconic studios, see live tapings, catch concerts, explore mural districts, or go from food trucks to Michelin stars in one day. For outdoor lovers, the trails, beaches and canyons come with ocean air and constant sunlight — a reminder that LA is as much about lifestyle as it is about landmarks.
Go north along the coast and the mood changes again — Santa Barbara, Big Sur, Monterey — rugged coastline and quiet towns where California slows down and shows a different face.
It’s easy to see why Los Angeles holds such a strong place in people’s imaginations. Our travel planners can shape an itinerary that fits the LA you want to experience — relaxed and coastal, cultural and creative, or part of a wider California journey.
