• Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum - LOS ANGELES COLISEUM
  The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is a renowned American sports stadium situated in Exposition Park. It is the home ground for the University of Southern California (USC) Trojans football team. Notably, the Coliseum is the first stadium to have hosted the Summer Olympic Games twice, in 1932 and 1984.

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES
Unlike many other major cities, visitors to Los Angeles often miss out on exploring Downtown. This is unfortunate, as Downtown LA is rich in historic architecture and cultural attractions, along with sports and entertainment complexes. This slideshow offers a glimpse of some exciting activities and sights in Downtown Los Angeles that are definitely worth exploring.

• Griffith Observatory - GRIFFITH PARK OBSERVATORY, Hollywood Sign:
  The observatory is a favored tourist destination, offering a spectacular view of the Hollywood Sign and a wide range of space and science-related exhibits.

• Hollywood Walk of Fame - WALK OF FAME (Hollywood Blvd)
  Grauman’s Chinese Theatre -
  The Hollywood Walk of Fame -

• Kodak Theater, (Home of the Oscars)

• The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel,
  and many other renowned locations too numerous to mention…
  Since the first star was awarded to Joanne Woodward in 1960, both celebrities and fictional characters who have made significant contributions to the entertainment industry have been honored with a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. There are now over 2,300 of these five-pointed bronze stars, including recent honorees such as Halle Berry, Jamie Foxx, Forrest Whitaker, and The Munchkins, stars of the 1939 film “The Wizard of Oz.”

• Sunset Plaza - Lunch at Mel’s Diner: Experience the ultimate 50’s dining ambiance! George Lucas filmed scenes for American Graffiti at a Mel’s Diner. The one on Sunset Strip, where the full-day tour stops for lunch, remains a fantastic spot for celebrity sightings!

You don’t “have” to dine here – but why wouldn’t you want to? You might just spot a famous face at the next table. Don’t be fooled by their clever disguise (Ray-Ban™ sunglasses)! Dine with the stars! (Lunch is not included).

• Beverly Hills - Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive: This is a city where pawn shops are referred to as “collateral lenders,” offering quick loans on Mercedes and Ferraris instead of toasters. Here, some clothing stores require customers to make advance reservations to shop, and shoppers may routinely spend $100,000 or more in a single visit to a boutique on Rodeo Drive or Wilshire Blvd. A city where the post office provides valet parking. This town’s “Sister City” is none other than Cannes, France.

• Santa Monica - Santa Monica Beach: Follow America’s most famous cross-country highway to the Pacific Ocean, and you will arrive at the Santa Monica Pier. Originally designed as a pleasure palace and park a century ago, this restored family playground is preparing for its 100th Gala in 2009.

• Venice Beach - Venice Beach: Hilary Duff filmed a video here, Jim Morrison and the Doors, as well as bandleader Benny Goodman, launched their careers here, and now it is home to actors Jane Fonda, Viggo Mortensen, and Elijah Wood. It’s Venice Beach, the beloved free-spirited beach resort town known for its Bohemian vibe, boutiques, street performers, artists, fortune tellers on the boardwalk, and as a fantastic place for people-watching (and star-gazing)! Muscle Beach and much more…. (LAX drop-off is available at the end of the tour: 4:00 pm).
  Please note: Due to Venice Beach city conditions, we might substitute Venice Beach with Fisherman’s Village in Marina Del Rey.
