For those in the latter category we offer a road map of ideas to help make a getaway to this ultra-hip, ultra-happening haven easy, fun and exciting. While L.A. will always be associated with movies and movie stars, it is also a culturally vibrant city that boasts a range of interesting attractions from prestigious art museums and galleries to fabulous theater, both well-known productions and smaller fringe shows. Art enthusiasts will be wowed by the extensive collections at the J. Paul Getty Center and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Visit the La Brea Tar Pits on Museum Row and then check out the trendy shops on Melrose Avenue. Families will not want to miss the Zoo or the action at Universal Studios Hollywood. Of course, no trip to L.A. would be complete without a stop at the Venice Beach Boardwalk or a visit to Mann's Chinese Theater and the Walk of Fame. « less
