Houses lined with light tiles, paved paths, flower beds, large palm trees and friendly people is all this creates a special atmosphere of Los Angeles. Take the bus №56-A. You need to get off at the Getty Center. Before you will be one of the most beautiful and cozy places in the city. The facade of buildings is made of raw stone with clay and sand. In the center there is a small fountain and a tap with drinking water, around them are benches. Away, in the corners, hammocks for relaxing. Many flowers and shrubs are planted here. Also for visitors are open exhibitions of contemporary art, showrooms with designer clothes and trendy cafes, where you can often meet writers or screenwriters at work.

Spend the second part of your day at Universal Studios Hollywood, the country's most famous park. On its territory there is an amusement zone and entertainment zone. Single ticket for the visit. In the first is the most modern carousel, roller coaster, room for laughter and fear, the second is the cinema universe. Here are the full-scale scenery of your favorite movies and TV shows. You will see where “Chelusty”, “Harry Potter”, “Titanic” and others were filmed. Everything looks so realistic that it’s hard to believe that this is not real. Outdoor scenery can be viewed while riding on the Studio tour tram.

Fans of the cartoon "The Simpsons" must-see pavilion of the same name, which tells about its creation. There is an exhibition with drawings, details and even the interior of the house of Homer Simpson. Opposite the building is the Ben and Cherry Cafe with the most delicious dessert in Los Angeles. Creamy ice cream is poured over chocolate syrup and placed in a cone of small churros, wafer tubules, with strawberries. We recommend to try it. You can buy souvenirs in City Wolf.

Spend the third day as a local resident. We recommend to make cycling trips and ride from the “Santa Monica” beach to the “Venice” embankment.

The road takes 30-40 minutes at a quiet pace, so that you can admire the surrounding views.

The Venice Quay is the most informal and creative place in Los Angeles. Here writers and artists, actors and directors, designers and famous photographers take rest and work. In 10 minutes walk go to the street Canals, something resembling Venice itself in Italy. Each house has an exit to the pier, near which there is a personal boat or yacht. Classic American buildings neatly stand in a row.

A compulsory point to visit is California State University, Los Angeles (UCLA). This is the most famous educational institution in America, which became the heart of the city. The brown bear is its symbol, therefore the statue of the animal stands near the main educational building. The campus of students is made in the same style and is somewhat reminiscent of the Hogwarts castle from the Harry Potter movie. Around is a lot of greenery and trees, shops and separate recreation areas. In the evening, the whole area is illuminated by lanterns and looks amazing.
