Inhabited by many movie stars since 1920, the district of Beverly Hills has developed according to some strict rules. The color, the size of houses, the signs and the pedestrian movement are all strictly regulated.
Nevertheless, the district of Beverly Hills is beautiful, like the television series of the same name. The streets are nicely wooded with palm trees, sycamores and oaks. The houses are beautiful and perfectly aligned. The architecture recalls the European bourgeois neighborhoods with a touch of Victorian style and bold colors sometimes. The gardens are also flawless, blooming and well shaded. Beverly Hills is America in all its glory, the only planet that we all would dream to live!
For the fans of People magazine, that is, almost everyone, you can search the homes of celebrities, living or dead, from special plans (Home Star Map) sold in every newsstand in Los Angeles. Among the many stars to have lived in Beverly Hills, included Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Charlie Chaplin, Walt Disney, Tom Cruise or Humphrey Bogart.
Finally, the district of Beverly Hills also requires its luxury shops where you will make amazing items in beautiful surroundings. Obviously, the price is also extraordinary. A passage from the famous Rodeo Drive is still a highlight of the visit. The shops are wonderful and they are an enjoyable ride... though a little frustrating. This is where Julia Roberts comes to shopping in Pretty Woman... with the credit card of Richard Gere!
By visiting the district of Beverly Hills by car, do not stop at a house to take pictures... is very bad and theoretically forbidden. Take pictures through the window gently rolling... Yes, you still have the right to slow down.
Obviously, it is impossible to get to Los Angeles and not visit Hollywood, the movie kingdom, a symbol of the American dream where any stranger can become overnight an international star...
However, there is less than a century since Hollywood was a land covered with fields and farms. In 1911, the first studio moved to Hollywood, fleeing New York because of the fees required by the company of Thomas Edison for the use of moving images. Another advantage is the climate of California, which allows shooting movies outdoors 10 months a year.
In less than 10 years, many other Hollywood studios joined to become the capital of the film industry. The area is developing very quickly and the Hollywood Boulevard hosts gradually restaurants and luxury hotels. In 1923, a developer put up giant letters on the hill with the inscription "Hollywood Land". Thus, a legend is born!
Today, Hollywood is a legendary district that attracts many tourists who are willing to see the traces and signatures of the biggest stars of cinema.
The footprints in cement are located at the famous Mann's Chinese Theater. The entrance to the cinema recalls the shape of a Chinese pagoda. Before the building, you can see and touch imprints of hands and feet of the biggest stars like Marilyn Monroe, Mickey Mouse, the robot R2-D2 or Arnold Schwarzenegger.
While walking on the sidewalks of Hollywood Boulevard, you will enjoy the Walk of Fame that consists of more than 2000 stars, each star dedicated to one artist. You can have fun, like everyone else, in finding the star of your idol. The star of Elvis Presley, John Lennon and James Dean are particularly sought.
Los Angeles vacations are fun for the whole family. When looking at vacation packages and travel deals to Los Angeles make sure to bundle and save your vacations. Buying the car, flight, hotel, and activities all at once will increase the savings on your trip.
Looking for another destination? I would suggest also looking at Las Vegas vacations for some fun in party city.
