Does the hustle and bustle of city life excite you? Then Los Angeles is the place to go. As America's second largest city, Los Angeles boasts an eclectic assortment of attractions ranging from theme parks to iconic landmarks.
One of the best ways to get the most out of the city would be to, of course, self-drive! If you're coming in from the LAX Airport, rest easy and pick up a rental car with Hertz Car Rental. Most attractions in Los Angeles are easily accessible by car, and as they say, the journey is part of the destination.
Pick up a car from Hertz Car Rental right from LAX Airport’s doorstep and drive down into town. Traffic could get a bit busy on weekdays but would clear out on weekends, leaving you with a 20 to 40 minute drive from LAX Airport into downtown Los Angeles.
Sightseeing is a must on a trip and Los Angeles is the place to do just that. What makes Los Angeles so iconic is its rich illustrious architecture, from its soaring skyscrapers to the beautiful palm tree lined roads of Beverly Hills. Driving on the 101 Freeway, you can catch a glimpse of the 73rd story Bank Tower, and the 90-year-old library that the skyscraper towers over. If you're interested in doing some simple sightseeing but aren't into crowds, check out a locally available car rental service like Hertz and go for a drive.
Priding itself on its art and cultural scene, Los Angeles is home to many museums such as the Getty Centre, an art museum that houses numerous works from famous artists like Van Gogh and Monet. Or perhaps if you're more interested in the stars, the Griffith Observatory is a must. From there, view the cosmos or take in a spectacular view of Los Angeles and the famed Hollywood sign.
No trip to Los Angeles is complete without a visit to a theme park! Los Angeles is famous for many, all with their own unique attractions. If you're a fan of Hollywood movies, Universal Studios Hollywood is the place to visit. Los Angeles also houses Disneyland, a whimsical theme park your kids would love.
Los Angeles can get confusing for first-time travellers with its many different freeway entries and differing street names. But don't be discouraged! The bountiful road signs and GPS navigation will help you find your way. Along the way, you might just chance upon some beautiful architecture or a delicious, tucked away restaurant. With Los Angeles, there is always a new adventure waiting to be found.
