Edition Only In Your State decided to share five tips that will be the way before traveling to the City of Angels.

1. Here is not only glitter and glamor

You will meet many fashionable cars, huge mansions in prestigious areas, but Hollywood is not only brilliance and glamor, as is commonly believed. In fact, Hollywood is a tourist destination, while areas such as Beverly Hills are more focused on high fashion and high costs. Los Angeles has a lot of glitz, but this is just one small aspect of the urban atmosphere.

2.The traffic is really bad here

If you are planning to attend an event in Los Angeles, you should forget about your usual measurement of the road and time. In the City of Angels, it may take you an hour to drive 15 (9,3 km) or 20 miles (12 km) at certain times of the day. This can be solved by prior planning and patience.

Want to have a wonderful day at the beach? What a score. Want to learn the local culture? No problem. Want to know the local history? In Los Angeles, you can do it. Want to go shopping with friends? This is also possible.

No matter how you want to spend your vacation, Los Angeles has something to offer.

4. Choose Burbank Airport instead of LAX

If possible, book flights to Los Angeles and back through Bob Hope Airport to Burbank. Although this place is located north of downtown Los Angeles in the San Fernando Valley, you will forget about the stress associated with air travel. Upon arrival, you will see fewer people and a much less long queue for cars, which means you will quickly get to many popular areas of the city.
