Travel guide Los Angeles

Los Angeles may seem daunting to Europeans, as the city is so sprawling. You should know that you can get around almost exclusively by car - public transportation is quite slow and distances are very long. Apart from this, it is a city with a welcoming population, very much oriented towards tourism and therefore easy to approach - whether you speak English or not.

Los Angeles is a common destination for tour operators, who often include it in a Southern California tour that includes one or more national parks, sometimes a visit to a Hollywood studio and another coastal city. On a tour package, you'll be able to rest during the long drives and take advantage of negotiated hotel rates.

Renting a car is undoubtedly the ideal solution when traveling with two or more people. It is the most flexible way to visit Los Angeles. Autonomous, the traveler can get off the beaten track and reach the points not served by public transportation. Rental rates are generally lower than in Europe, toll roads are rare and fuel is about four times cheaper than in Europe.
