Reviews

[Tara Cignarella]

Fun to review all the places, very complete for how big la is

[Todd Smith]

This book details what to see in LA from Hollywood to the superb art at the Getty Center to the Santa Monica Pier.

You will find full-color maps, itineraries, and insider tips.

Essential information such as hours, phone numbers, websites and transit tips along with prices.

You will find reviews of restaurants, hotels, shopping, and even hidden gems.

The book covers the area throughout LA from Hollywood to downtown to Venice Beach.

I liked the neighborhood focus to learn what is nearby when I am in that general area. I will refer back to it on my trip.
