Los Angeles – “City of Angels” and a real dream for any tourist
Los Angeles is a huge metropolis located at the very edge of the Pacific Ocean. Therefore, the first thing I wanted to see this very ocean, and went to the area of Santa Monica, where the famous beach of the same name is located. Moreover, this trip was pleasant, considering that the temperature at the end of September here exceeded 30 degrees Celsius.
The beach was very clean, safe and, given its length of several tens of kilometers, not very crowded.

The ocean coast is a real paradise for surfers, but it’s quite difficult for an ordinary person to resist the elements, so almost no one swam on Santa Monica. But you can sunbathe and admire the waves without risking your life.
Los Angeles is the world capital of cinema. Therefore, my stay there has not been without a visit to Hollywood. First of all, I went to the Walk of Fame, which is a street several kilometers covered with memorable stars from various figures of cinema, music and television. Here you can meet those who are only striving to become a star: newly minted musicians, comedians, actors try to convince passers-by of the uniqueness of their talent, and at the same time get a tip for the disc by their performances. Here is the famous Chinese theater Grauman, a vivid example of oriental architecture.
Before entering the theater, you can see the prints of hands and feet of celebrities, their signatures. It seemed to me a much more fascinating idea than the faceless stars of the Alley. A little further is the Dolby Theater (formerly known as the Kodak Theater), which has served as a venue for the Oscars for several years.

During the premiere of the films, the red tracks are also held here, they interview the actors, take photographs, and hold press conferences at the Chinese Theater. We were lucky to visit the Walk of Fame on one of these days and see the whole process with our own eyes.

Another highlight of my trip is a visit to the oldest Universal Studios. Concurrently, it is also an exciting amusement park, where it will be interesting not only for a child, but also for an adult, even one who is far from American cinematography.
The park occupies a huge area next to Hollywood, so in order to have time to see everything and visit everything, I went there almost to the very discovery. There are themed pavilions for every taste: you can play Quidditch with Harry Potter himself, drink a creamy beer, and then fly a hippogriff, plunge into the atmosphere of the Jurassic Park, find adventures with the Simpsons family, and then feel like a member of the expedition from the movie “Mummy”. And this is not a complete list! The day spent in the park turned out to be rich and rich in positive impressions and emotions.
Los Angeles has become for me the most fascinating and vibrant US city. Multinational, free, city, which thousands of people strive to get into every year.
