Los Angeles<\/a>\u00a0goes by many names; from short and snappy L.A. to the evocative Tinseltown, La La Land and the City of Angels. Driven by the entertainment industry, LA is the stage upon which a talent pool of young, glamorous, hungry dreamers revolve in search of the ‘one big break’.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, time stands still for no man and the conveyor belt of opportunity runs on double time. For me, arriving in LA, following a stint of languid beach-bound days on the Cali coast was a disorienting adjustment. With so much going on, it\u2019s impossible not to be swept up by the vibrancy and slip into an awed haze of unreality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give yourself up to the glitter and lights and buckle in for the best of what LA has to offer. Ready, set, action: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walk of Fame<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Bayeux Tapestry of the big screen, the\u00a0Walk of Fame<\/a>\u00a0is arguable the most important pictorial document of film and television history. All the big names to have put their stamp on Hollywood in time find themselves a part of this famous stamping ground. All eyes are glued to the floor on Hollywood Boulevard as a steady stream of enraptured star seekers pace the pavement in hunt of their big screen crushes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Griffith Park<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When your neck tires of staring at your toes you can check out some stars of a different kind at Griffith Observatory, or simply stroll around\u00a0Griffith Park<\/a>\u00a0for a spectacular vista of downtown and the iconic Hollywood sign.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hollywood Sign<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If this view isn\u2019t enough, a trail starting off from Griffith Park will lead you on an 8-mile round-trip up Mount Hollywood. Although you\u2019re not able to get near enough to touch, climb above and behind the sign for the closest encounter – and an epic shot.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Warner Bros Studios L.A.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

From behind the sign, to behind-the-scenes Warner Bros Studios<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>offers an unrivalled insight into the running of a real working studio. Take a tour through the sets, sound stages, prop houses and sound effects studios of the 95-year-old studio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Universal Studios Hollywood<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Universal Studios HollywoIf you\u2019re wondering which studio to visit: Warner Bros or Universal? Stop. Instead, ask yourself which studio to visit\u00a0first<\/em>. Both studios offer unexchangeable experiences: Warner provides the intimacy of a small tour group, a knowledgeable guide and stop-offs at sets.\u00a0Universal Studios Hollywood<\/a>\u00a0delivers the souped-up, show-biz spin off \u2013 and with jaws chomping at the tramline you\u2019re safer staying in your seat. The tour and attached theme-park appeals equally to the movie buff and thrill seeker.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Beverly Hills<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Now you\u2019ve seen where they work, lust over how they live; get a glimpse into the lives of the rich and famous with a\u00a0tour of the Hollywood Homes<\/a>. Most tours will give you a drive-by of Rodeo Drive for a spell of window shopping too.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Venice Beach\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From the highlife to the high seas, head to the Venice Beach to acclimatise yourself back into the real world. This bohemian neighbourhood is the perfect spot to pick up a surfboard or skateboard \u2013 or if you\u2019re as hopelessly uncoordinated as your writer – simply relax on the sand and watch the locals do their thing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Santa Monica Pier<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The pier is a scenic walk or flat cycle up the coast from Venice Beach. Rent a bike and end the day with sunset from the Ferris wheel.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
