Get to know Los Angeles

Griffith Observatory’s white walls, domes and green lawn beneath a clear blue Los Angeles sky

Los Angeles rewards a little planning. Choose a base close to the places you most want to see, then build each day around one part of the city. Hollywood landmarks, coastal neighbourhoods and world-class museums make very different days out.

Getting there

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) serves the wider city. Allow generous transfer time: traffic can make journeys much longer than the map suggests. Compare your hotel’s location with your sightseeing plans.

Weather & local time

Late spring through early autumn is generally drier; coastal mornings can be cloudy. Pacific Time; clocks change seasonally.

Money & language

US dollar (USD) · English; other languages are widely spoken.

Your Los Angeles questions, answered

Where should I stay in Los Angeles?

Choose a base near your priorities: the coast for beach time, Hollywood for film landmarks, or Downtown for museums and dining. Check travel times before booking.

Which airport should I use?

LAX is the main international gateway. Other Southern California airports may suit some itineraries, but compare arrival and hotel locations carefully.

Do I need a car?

A car can help for a wide-ranging trip, but parking and traffic add cost and time. Public transport, rideshare and tours can work for a focused itinerary.

How many days should I allow?

Several days let you explore a few neighbourhoods without rushing. Add time for theme parks or day trips beyond the city.

Is Disneyland in Los Angeles?

Disneyland Resort is in Anaheim, southeast of central Los Angeles. It needs its own travel time and is best planned as a dedicated outing.

Are hotel stays usually all-inclusive?

No. Most city hotels offer room-only or specific meal plans. Check breakfast, parking, destination fees and other inclusions.

Can I search departures from across Canada?

Yes. Choose your departure airport and dates; routes and connections depend on the airline and season.
