This spring we're talking all-things LA alongside our amazing competition, where you can win a trip to Los Angeles complete with a holiday wardrobe from Outdazl, and to complement our Postcards From LA Collection.
So we asked travel expert Katie Collis from Travel Counsellors (who are arranging the prize holiday for our winner), to share some tips on how to experience a perfect blend of food, fun, and fashion in Los Angeles. Here's Katie's guide to LA, including her favourite things to do and see in this fabulous city.
Los Angeles, the city of dreams, offers an array of experiences that cater to every taste and preference. Whether you're a foodie, an adventure seeker, or a fashion enthusiast, LA has something special in store for you.
Start your LA escapade with a private walking tour of Beverley Hills & Rodeo drive; indulge in a shopping spree and learn more about this famous neighbourhood. I would then recommend the invigorating hike to the iconic Hollywood sign or immersing yourself in the cultural treasures of the Getty Museum.
For those craving some adrenaline-fueled excitement, a day at Disneyland or Universal Studios promises endless thrills. A trip to LA would not be complete without a visit to the sun-kissed shores of Venice Beach or basking in the nostalgia of the Santa Monica pier.
LA's vibrant food scene is all part of this great city - begin your day with breakfast at the Great White Café, savor organic delights at Erewhon for lunch, or explore the eclectic offerings of the Smorgasburg Food Market.
For a truly memorable dining experience, treat yourself to the gastronomic delights of Gjelina in Venice or dine in elegance at the legendary Polo Lounge of the Beverly Hills Hotel, steeped in Old Hollywood charm. As night falls, sip cocktails amidst classic Hollywood glamour at the iconic Tower Bar of the Sunset Tower Hotel or enjoy the panoramic vistas from Harriet's Rooftop Bar at 1 Hotel.
If you're craving more adventure, I can curate the ultimate Californian coast road-trip allowing you to experience the best of this sun-drenched state, stay in some of the most iconic hotels in the whole of the USA while driving the famous Route 1 in a sleek convertible sports car. I can arrange unparalleled, unforgettable experiences including seeing majestic landscapes from a helicopter, tasting some of the world’s finest wines, feasting in Michelin-starred restaurants, spotting wildlife including whales and dolphins, horse-riding on a deserted beach and touring film stars’ homes.
With 30 years experience in the industry, my expertise and knowledge will ensure your once-in-a-lifetime holiday exceeds all expectations. So, pack your bags, hit the road, and prepare for the adventure of a lifetime - Your LA journey awaits
