Los Angeles is a city that’s difficult to navigate, especially if you’re a tourist. Most people live and play in the cities around Los Angeles, not in downtown L.A. itself. Some of the more famous locales surrounding Los Angeles are Beverly Hills and West Hollywood and there are small beach communities located up and down the coast, like Santa Monica and Manhattan Beach. And, of course, don’t forget Anaheim, where Disneyland is located. If you’re visiting Los Angeles for your next vacation, it’s best if you stay in one of the cities to get more fun out of your trip.
Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills is known for celebrities and remarkable mansions where the rich and famous reside. Beverly Hills also offers amazing shopping and beautiful hotels which cater to stars. The year-round sunshine and incredible homes make this part of Los Angeles a wonderful place to stay.

Santa Monica
Santa Monica is probably one of the most beautiful areas around Los Angeles, boasting an astounding beach-side location, great night life and plenty of celebrities frequenting the area’s restaurants and bars. At night, visit the many bars or clubs – remember, however, that parking can be difficult. To avoid problems with finding parking, take a taxi or a limousine.
You should never be afraid of taking limousines for transportation because, contrary to what you might think, they’re not expensive in Los Angeles. Limousine companies in L.A. usually charge per hour. If you want to get the best prices, check with a couple of limousine companies for their rates. And if you book your limousine a couple of days in advance you may be able to get a good rate.
