WESTWOOD VILLAGE MEMORIAL PARKT: 0310-474-1579 | 1218 Glendon Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90024

Start your first day in LA with a visit to pay your respects to some of the city’s brightest stars. The

intimate surrounds of the cemetery are home to none other than Marilyn Monroe, Dean Martin and

Jack Lemmon, among other major celebrities.

From the cemetery, Venice Beach is 20 minutes away by taxi.

VENICE BEACHT: 0310-396-6794 | 1800 Ocean Front Walk, Venice, CA 90291

A microcosm of 80s sun-kissed beach culture, Venice Beach is still as iconic today as it ever was.

Pastel hued art deco buildings lead onto white sand, aquamarine water and a vibrant boardwalk,

where fortune-tellers, roller skaters and musclemen mingle in the endless LA sunshine. A lazy day

can be spent on the beach and boulevard, relaxing, people watching, and soaking up the rays.

From the beach, take a 25-minute taxi ride to The Original Farmers Market.

THE ORIGINAL FAMERS MARKETT: 0323-933-9211 | 6333 W. 3rd Street, Los Angeles, CA 90036

Considering its fitness-conscious, healthy eating populous, it comes as no surprise that LA is home

to some of the best farmers markets in America. The Original Farmers Market has taken place on

3rd and Fairfax since 1934, and every day welcomes scores of local grocers, farmers and merchants

selling produce ranging from fresh lobster and shrimp to homegrown fruits and vegetables.

Then, either get a two-minute taxi or take a 20-minute walk to the nearby La Brea Tar Pits and Museum.

Two day itinerary: Old FavouritesLos Angeles is a place where dreamers and doers have been chasing success and stardom for decades. In addition to the glitz

and glamour, this two-day itinerary for the City of Angels has a joyous blend of art, food, architecture and fun to offer visitors,

all enhanced by the irrepressible collage of characters and cultures, which make this young city as alluring as any of Europe’s

grand old capitals.

Day OneGet the day started with a trip to the Westwood Village Memorial Park, 10 minutes’ journey by taxi from the hotel.

For a trip back in time, there’s nowhere quite like La Brea Tar Pits and Museum. Animals like sabre-

toothed cats and dire wolves have succumbed to the naturally occurring tar here for thousands of

years and became perfectly preserved in the process. See creatures and fossils from the Ice Age,

learn more about the pits in 3D movies, and stand in the presence of ancient history at this much-

loved local museum.

The final stop of the day is the Griffith Observatory, half an hour from La Brea Tar Pits by taxi.

metropolis below and the skies above, the Observatory also has a full programme of events and

shows and a café from none other than Wolfgang Puck.

A 35-minute taxi ride will bring you back to the hotel.

zoos in the world. Following a programme of widespread improvement, the zoo now has a six-acre

elephant enclosure and a multi-million dollar reptile centre. Along with its array of daytime animal

viewing possibilities, the zoo also runs popular evening events including gourmet dinners and

accompanying talks.

Then, take a 15-minute taxi ride to Olvera Street.

OLVERA STREETOlvera Street, 845 N Alameda Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012

Los Angeles owes much of its present culture and character to Latin and Mexican influences. A

bustling Mexican neighbourhood, Olvera Street is packed with painted market stalls, food trucks and

historic buildings. Said to be the birthplace of Los Angeles, Olvera attracts around two million people

every year, with holidays like Cinco de Mayo and Dia de los Muertos proving particularly popular.

small screens, a guided tour of LA’s most lavish celebrity homes is the ideal way to enjoy a relaxed

and light-hearted view of the most glamorous areas, whilst also getting a glimpse into the lives of

Los Angeles’ great and good.

Back at Grauman’s, take a five-minute taxi ride or 25-minute walk to the Hollywood Bowl.

GRAUMAN’S CHINESE THEATRET: 0323-461-3331 | 6925 Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood, CA 90028

and autographs of the biggest names in Hollywood and cinema history on the pavement outside.

Douglas Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin, and the cast of Harry Potter, amongst countless other legends,

have been immortalised in humble cement at this iconic LA cinema.

The Starline Celebrity Home Tours start from Grauman’s, so just stroll on over to the waiting

open-air bus.

outdoor music venues. Found at the foot of the Hollywood hills, with the Hollywood sign visible over

its shoulder, this concert venue hosts performances year-round from the Los Angeles Philharmonic,

as well as a full roster of internationally renowned artists and events.

Then, take a taxi for the 20-minute journey back to the hotel.
