We start with choosing the best location to stay in L.A.—picking the best base for your hotel or hostel in Los Angeles—and then sort through what to see and not to see. Having fun on the best beaches. Experiencing L.A. at night. Visiting Universal and other studios. Making your way with local transportation. You'll even learn a little southern California history that will help you better appreciate the uniqueness of Los Angeles.

Choosing the right routine

Besides the location of your accommodation, the most important advice this guide can give about Los Angeles is to relax. Try not to do too much. As in Australia, a frenetic pace is not the southern California lifestyle.

Frequently during the summer, low clouds and fog obscure Los Angeles area beaches during the morning. Usually by mid or late morning, however, it becomes sunny and warm, and this is the ideal beach time. The routine: Explore in the morning; enjoy a beach in the afternoon; have some fun activity in the evening.

The problem, however, is that there is so much that can be done, day or night, in Los Angeles! Please allow ample time to visit this fascinating area.
