Los Angeles is a city of illusion, with so many different backdrops for those anxious to play make-believe. This guide combines insightful writing and striking photography with a strong emphasis on practical information. From Hollywood to Santa Monica, from Bel Air to Disneyland to the South Bay, our expert writers assess all the places worth seeing. The Best of Las Vegas section will help visitors prioritise their trip: from festivals and shopping, to the best celebrity haunts and of course its beaches. Cafes and restaurants are recommended and the best are described and plotted on the free pull-out restaurant guide. Travels tips provide all the information visitors will need and a detailed street atlas and index are featured at the back of the book.
