Blick über Los Angeles
The lively metropolis of Los Angeles, perhaps more commonly referred to by its initials LA, is the USA’s second most populous city. For decades, this cultural centre of California has been associated with the entertainment and film industry. Hollywood long ago became a natural magnet for performers coming to Los Angeles from all over the States.
Los Angeles is a very diverse city when it comes to tourist attractions. It offers magnificent shopping venues, intriguing art galleries, and fine dining spots. Those who seek a relaxing stay will love the opportunity to visit LA’s hot beaches and explore the surrounding countryside. Families with children will also find Los Angeles very entertaining with such attractions as Universal Studios and Disneyland.

On Driveboo.com, you'll be spoilt for choice with a wide range of vehicle models to choose from. Don't hesitate, make the summer months your dream holiday in Los Angeles.
The best time to visit the popular City of Angels is from March to May, but September to November is another good choice. Average temperatures during those two periods range from 16 to 25 degrees Celsius. The temperature is more bearable during those months and the city is a little less crowded.
On the road in Los Angeles
Los Angeles offers an extensive choice of car hire companies all over the city. The car hire offering in the city leaves absolutely nothing to be desired. However, the most convenient way to equip yourself with your dream vehicle is hiring a car at the airport. Los Angeles Airport (LAX) is situated 19.6 miles (31.5 km) from the city centre. Many travellers also choose to arrive at Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) located 16.2 miles (26 km) from L.A.
Fortunately, the US has entered into an agreement with most EU countries. This guarantees that your national driver's license is enough to move around Los Angeles in a hired car. Nonetheless, numerous car hire companies require their clients to present an international driver's license, so it is better to apply far ahead of your trip in order to avoid any obstacles if you encounter a delay.
Speed limits in Los Angeles are posted on road signs in miles per hour (mph). On multilane freeways, the speed limit is 65 mph (105 km/h). When it comes to two-lane highways, the speed limit is 55 mph (90 km/h). The speed limit that you need to observe on city streets is usually 35 mph (55 km/h). However, it is important to remember that residential areas and areas around schools have different speed limits—these are usually 25 mph (40 km/h).
When you’re driving in the US and see one of the famous yellow school buses in front of you, you must stop for as long as the driver has the stop sign out. Passing by, even at a slower pace, is not allowed and is punishable with large fines.
Being one of the most popular destinations in California, Los Angeles offers endless attractions for all types of tourists. Whether you are searching for a peaceful stay or a holiday full of entertainment, you shouldn’t miss the following attractions:
Walk of Fame
Hollywood Hills
Leave the city limits and explore the region around Los Angeles. A hired car will grant you the freedom to go exploring in whichever direction you want. You can start with the beautiful pristine beaches and Mediterranean-like climate of the coastline, which will allow you to feel an endless summer on your skin.
You can also visit Venice Beach or the idyllic Long Beach, where you will find some relief from the hustle and bustle of the metropolis.
Santa Barbara, also referred to as the American Riviera, is another spot for those who enjoy long hours spent in the sun. The city offers a wide selection of tourist attractions ranging from extensive gardens to interesting art galleries.
For those who are into old Hollywood glamour, Palm Springs is a must-see attraction. In the 1930s, it was a top winter resort visited by such great performers as Marlene Dietrich and Frank Sinatra.
Joshua National Park should be included on your holiday to-visit list if you are a lover of vast open spaces. The park was named after the interesting yucca trees that flourish within its limits. This natural gem offers a wide selection of outdoor activities suitable for those seeking an active holiday.
Those who aren’t fed up with the clamour of large metropolis should also consider a trip to San Francisco.
