Explore

There are more than 60 neighbourhoods to explore in LA, each offering their own view of this city of Angels. Hire a car so you can quickly go from enjoying Dim Sum in Monterey Park to stand up paddle boarding with the locals in Marina Del Rey. Drive up the coast passing the Venice Beach boardwalk and the gates of the rich and famous in Beverly Hills. Finish the evening in West Hollywood where the party goes all night.

Eat

Make your way to 'Kardashian Kountry' and try the most overhyped salads of the decade at Health Nut Calabasas (healthnutla.com). Order the Kardashian staples which are the Chinese chicken salad, a chef salad and a Mango Greentini to drink. Once you've had your reality check head back to central LA where the city is home to hundreds of incredible food trucks.

Stand

If you haven't seen the stars on the Hollywood walk of fame, you haven't really been to LA. Stand next to your favourite celeb's star, get your photo taken with Marilyn Monroe and then make your way up to Grauman's Chinese Theatre, where you can compare handprints and footprints of the rich and famous.
