Los Angeles Holidays

Los Angeles, the heart of California, is an iconic holiday destination bursting with excitement, adventure, and unforgettable experiences. Whether you're a thrill-seeker, nature lover, or a celebrity-spotter, LA has something for everyone. Explore the magic of Disneyland California, get lost in the wonders of Universal Studios Hollywood, or unwind on the sun-kissed beaches of Malibu. From world-famous theme parks to scenic drives and picture-perfect coastal getaways, a holiday in LA is nothing short of spectacular. Plus, fly direct with airlines including Virgin Atlantic / Delta Airlines and British Airways!

Start your adventure with a visit to Disneyland California, a must-see for families, Disney fans, and anyone who wants to experience the enchantment of Disney. Home to two iconic parks, Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, you’ll discover unique attractions like Avengers Campus, Cars Land, and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. There’s magic around every corner—whether you’re flying with Spider-Man, taking a spin with Lightning McQueen, or exploring a galaxy far, far away!

For more thrills, head to Universal Studios Hollywood, where the excitement never stops! As a working movie studio, this theme park offers the rare opportunity to see Hollywood magic in action. Explore sets, catch a glimpse of your favorite movie stars, and dive into attractions like The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Jurassic World. And, if you’re seeking jaw-dropping adrenaline, make sure to visit Six Flags Magic Mountain—home to some of the wildest roller coasters in the world. The extreme rides here, like Tatsu, X2, and Goliath, will keep your heart racing all day long.

LA’s stunning beaches are another major draw. Drive out to the golden sands of Malibu, where you can relax on pristine beaches like Point Dume or El Matador—perfect for picnics and sunset views. For a lively beach experience, head to Venice Beach, famous for its quirky boardwalk and vibrant street culture. Or, enjoy the iconic Santa Monica Pier, a great spot to stroll, shop, and indulge in delicious food with a spectacular ocean backdrop.

When it comes to road trips, Los Angeles is the ideal starting point. Rent a car and hit the legendary Pacific Coast Highway, a scenic drive that will take you through breathtaking coastal views, charming towns like Santa Barbara, the rugged beauty of Big Sur, and end with a visit to the sparkling city of San Francisco. Other top road trips include:

• Route 66: A historic American road trip from LA to Chicago, filled with quirky stops and nostalgic Americana.

LA is a city of contrasts, blending urban excitement with natural beauty. Hike to the Hollywood Sign for a view of the city skyline or enjoy a peaceful moment at Eaton Canyon Falls in the San Gabriel Mountains. From there, take in sweeping panoramic views at the Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook, where the ocean meets the sprawling city below.
