Los Angeles is a unique city, one of the most interesting in the country. Over 25 million people visit Los Angeles each year. Many come to see the stars and the glamour of Hollywood, while others are scoping out one of the city's four major league teams (but no football) or two major college teams. No matter what the reason you come to LA, you'll find a huge, sprawling city with something for everyone.

Los Angeles is home to baseball's Dodgers, the Lakers and Clippers of the NBA, and the Kings of the NHL. The Dodgers play at Dodger Stadium, a few miles north of downtown, while the other teams share the Staples Center in the heart of the city. LA is also home to UCLA and USC, powerhouse schools in the Pac-10 conference.

TRANSPORTATION

Los Angeles is a huge city, with everything completely spread out, therefore, despite the notorious traffic, a car is the generally recommended mode of transportation.

The Los Angeles airport, LAX, is located less than 20 miles from downtown. If you are confining your visit to the downtown area and venues such as the Staples Center or Dodger Stadium, then you can also get by with cabs and the local subway.

The weather in Los Angeles is great, aside from the smog and haze. Temperatures are near-perfect year round, with low humidity and little rain, particularly in the summer.
