Dallas to Los Angeles Travel Guide

Where does one begin when trying to describe Los Angeles? One of America's (and perhaps the world's) most popular cities, LA provides visitors with everything from great weather and premier beaches to rich cultural treasures. Spend a day people watching at Venice Beach or Santa Monica Pier, and take an evening drive along the scenic California State Route 1, also known as the Pacific Coast Highway. Of course, no trip to LA is complete without a stop in Hollywood. Spend the day checking out the stars, and take in the abundant nightlife of Sunset Boulevard after dark. Oh, and you may have some trouble deciding on where to eat among the seemingly endless selection; if you can't make up your mind, grab an In-N-Out Burger.

Dallas and Los Angeles may be fairly close geographically and experience comparable weather, but that's mostly where the similarities end. While LA isn't ALL about Hollywood and movie stars, there's definitely a special vibe in the area that's quite invigorating. LA is a delight for people who appreciate a wide selection of cuisine, thanks to the diverse mix of cultures that call LA home. While Texans appreciate all things "big," Lone Star State natives may be a bit overwhelmed with how geographically spread out the LA and Orange County areas are - be prepared to spend an hour or two to get across town. Luckily, each part of the LA area has something special to offer.

Give Texas a rest while you breathe in the SoCal life for a spell. Check our smart search engine to find the best deals on flights from Dallas to Los Angeles.
