Los Angeles County

3.9
With the entertainment capital of America at its core, sandy beaches, and 87 parks, Los Angeles County offers visitors a plethora of cultural and recreational opportunities. Gazing at stars--whether on Rodeo Drive or at the Griffith Observatory--is still a popular thing to do in Los Angeles County, but certainly not the only one. The City of Angels remains the region's main hub with its urban architectural heritage, vibrant historic streets, world-class museums, imaginative theme parks, luxurious Beverly Hills boutiques, hip rooftop bars, and starlet-filled clubs. Nature-oriented travelers can explore the county's hilly wilderness and sun-kissed river valleys dotted with many recreational lakes.
