Los Angeles
Summing up Los Angeles in a few words can be tricky, due to the multiple personalities it has on display. The eastern part of the city – the hills, the views, that up-and-coming sense of change – seems to have little in common with the communities pegged to the Pacific coastline. So when you visit, you won’t be short of ideas or options – in fact you’ll probably have to narrow your field if you’re going to tick everything off, especially given the sprawl and the traffic. Yet despite the bad rep the city sometimes gets for its congestion, it’s also almost impossible not to fall in love.
