Los
Angeles is the heart of any trip to southern California and a magnet for over
forty million visitors each year. The Los Angeles area brims with first-rate
attractions: theme parks, museums, beaches, nightlife, theater, and its own
unique Hollywood glitz. Other
famous attractions California has to offer is Mann's Chinese Theater, which
houses the nearby Walk of Fame (star- like plaques are placed here to honor
famous performers), the Venice Boardwalk, Catalina Island, San Bernardino
Mountains, Joshua Tree National Monument, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National
Parks, and the famous Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. San Francisco is the hub of northern California. Once the city’s mass-transit system, the famous cable cars are now a National Historic Landmark on wheels. For visitors, however, the cable cars can be a very efficient means of transportation. You can actually stand out on the running boards, just as you have seen people do in the movies. If you are not boarding at the beginning of the line, wait until the car slows down at an intersection and jump on! Visit the Cable Car Barn and Museum to learn more about the trolleys. Fisherman's Wharf is a lively, waterfront open-air market. Commonly seen is the fresh day’s catch and the smells of baked sourdough bread permeate the surrounding air.
