Here’s what to see and do, and where to eat, drink, shop, stay, and play in the "City of Angels"—from glitzy Hollywood to posh Beverly Hills, from Santa Monica’s surf to Pasadena’s parade, and beyond!

An amalgam of mini cities connected by a web of freeways and boulevards, Los Angeles is at once classic and eccentric. In this indispensable pocket city guide, ''Top Picks'' direct you to not-to-be-missed attractions, and handy ''Notes'' pages are included to jot down all your favorites. 10 fold-out maps detail favorite neighborhoods, and include an L.A. Metro Map.
