Los Angeles to New York Travel Guide

Nestled on the Pacific coast, the sprawling city of Los Angeles draws tourists from all over the world. Endless entertainment options range from exploring Disneyland to eating cotton candy on Santa Monica Pier or surfing Huntington Beach. With various direct flights leaving from New York City throughout the day, the palm trees and beaches of Los Angeles are just a short flight away.

New York City and Los Angeles may be two of the biggest cities in the United States, but in terms of weather, attractions and general atmosphere, the two couldn't be more different. Trade the cool streets of New York City for the soft sands and vibrant street culture of Venice Beach, or see the famous Walk of Fame and Chinese Theatre in star-studded Hollywood. Be sure to check out surrounding cities for the full Los Angeles experience. Long Beach offers exciting whale-watching cruises, and Laguna Beach is the place to enjoy pristine beaches beneath rocky cliffs. Los Angeles is famous for its mild, sunny weather, so come prepared with plenty of sun block and some stylish shades, but pack a light jacket if you're planning a winter visit. Keep in mind that the public transportation system in Los Angeles is no match for that of New York, so renting a car to cruise the freeways may be the way to go.
