About Los Angeles

Los Angeles often abbreviated as L.A. is the largest city in the state of California by population, and the second most populous city in the United States.

Los Angeles is one of the world's centers of culture, science, technology, international trade, and higher education, and is home to world-renowned institutions in a broad range of professional and cultural fields. The city and its immediate vicinity lead the world in producing popular entertainment-such as motion picture, television, and recorded music-which forms the base of Los Angeles' international fame and global status.

The city is divided into many neighborhoods, many of which were towns that were annexed by the growing city. Los Angeles offers a dazzling variety of attractions and world-famous amusements. Downtown is a mixture of cultures and local communities: the traditional herbalists of Chinatown's Bamboo Lane; Little Tokyo with its sushi bars and Japanese gardens; and the narrow Latino-influenced Olvera Street.

Weather / Climate

The city is situated in a Mediterranean climate zone, experiencing mild, somewhat wet winters and warm to hot summers. Breezes from the Pacific Ocean tend to keep the beach communities of the Los Angeles area cooler in summer and warmer in winter than those further inland, and summer temperatures can sometimes be as much as 18 °F (10 °C) warmer in the inland communities compared to that of the coastal communities.

Religion

Los Angeles is one of the most religiously diverse communities in the world. Los Angeles is home to adherents of many religions, and has over 100 Christian denominations, with Roman Catholicism being the largest due to the high numbers of Hispanic, Filipino, and Irish Americans.

Getting there

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is one of the busiest airports in the world, which also makes it one of the slowest to get in and out of. More and more travelers are taking advantage of flights into the other four major L.A. area airports.

LA is one of the cheapest places in the country to rent a car. It is also possible to get around by bus, but frequent transfers and long distances can make this slow and impractical, and it is not recommended for late-night travel. The Metro rail system has three lines, which cover only a small area of LA, but it is frequent and efficient. Taxis are also available, but they can be expensive due to the long distances.
