Los Angeles Travel TipsWatch out for "June Gloom" and "the Santa Anas." Two L.A.-specific weather phenomena are the fog banks and overcast skies that can hang around for days in June (actually, it can happen anytime from March to August), and the Santa Ana winds that can make you feel like Dorothy in Kansas. Summer in general can also be very hot—especially in the Valley—and it's also peak tourist season. Join a live studio audience. Probably the only way you’ll actually see a celebrity in L.A. is by seeing a TV show being taped. Tickets are free and are sometimes handed out on Hollywood Boulevard or at Universal City. You can also get them at www.tvtickets.com. Ride the movies at Universal Studios. Whether recreating with kids, the dogs, or with your buddies, the L.A. area promises adventure for everyone. Mountain-biking trails, day-hike trails, beaches, and camping spots await those looking for an escape from the city. Try a sit-on-top sea kayak in the bay or open ocean at Southwind Kayak Center. Rentals are available in Newport Beach and Dana. The center also conducts guided outings and offers weekend instructional classes. Los Angeles Overview
Like Las Vegas, the allure of L.A.for better or for worseis undeniable. Los Angelenos know their city will never have the sophisticated style of Paris or the historical riches of London, but they cheerfully lay claim to living in the most entertaining city in the United States, if not the world. It really is warm and sunny most days of the year, movie stars actually do live and dine among the commoners, and you can't swing a cellphone without hitting a roller-blading blonde at the beach.
