Did you know?

Los Angeles International Airport is one of the largest and busiest airports in the world. It opened in 1930 and today serves as a major international hub on the US West Coast. The airport is also known for its iconic 1960s retro-style Theme Building, which resembles a flying saucer. LAX has nine terminals connected by a U-shaped road loop and handles over 80 million passengers annually. The airport is located only about 30 km southwest of Downtown Los Angeles and is a major hub for flights to Asia, Australia and Latin America.

Places of interest

The famous Hollywood Walk of Fame spans several blocks and honours over 2,700 personalities from film, music, and television – a must-see for film enthusiasts. High above the city lies the Getty Centre, an architectural masterpiece with a significant art collection and panoramic views over Los Angeles.

The Santa Monica Pier combines beach fun with nostalgia. A small amusement park, a glowing Ferris wheel, and the sweeping view over the Pacific Ocean make it one of the most popular spots on the coast.

In the green heart of the city, the Griffith Observatory in Griffith Park not only offers exhibitions on astronomy but also one of the best views of the famous Hollywood Sign.

Pure luxury awaits visitors in Beverly Hills – especially on Rodeo Drive, which embodies the glamour of LA with its designer boutiques, palm trees, and magnificent mansions.

Useless knowledge

• In L.A., distances aren't measured in kilometres but in minutes, and with no guarantee. „20 minutes“ can mean 9 minutes or 2 hours. The only constant is traffic jams.
• Sunsets in L.A. look like filters but they're real.
• Small talk in L.A. starts with „What's your star sign?“ and ends with a crystal that „realigns your inner fire.»
• In the summer, you burn yourself on every surface. Door handle? Third-degree burn. Metal chair? Griddle. Car seat in shorts? Mistake of a lifetime.
