Los Angeles is the nucleus of Southern California. The second largest city in the United States, LA is surrounded by varied geographic features: there are snow-capped mountains to the North and East, the Pacific Ocean to the South and West, and scenic desert situated just beyond the mountain rim.
With its moderate climate, Los Angeles provides an ideal environment to enjoy the region’s hot spots, historical and natural landmarks and cultural activities. The ethnically diverse city is a magnet for art, culture, food, industry and commerce. As the heart of the entertainment industry, Los Angeles and Hollywood boasts more artists, writers, filmmakers, actors, dancers and musicians than in any other city worldwide.
