This city contains many neighborhoods, each one more diverse than the next. Take a day to travel and experience these areas for yourself. Each neighborhood offers a new perspective on this city that’s way more than just stage lights and red carpets.
Beverly Hills
The wealthy, fabulous, and affluent all strut down Rodeo drive in Beverly Hills.

For those ready to celebrity spot and shop till they drop, Beverly Hills is the place to be.
Echo Park
The charming L.A. neighborhood known as Echo Park is famous for its colors, diversity, and proximity to Chinatown, downtown L.A., and Los Feliz. Named for the beautiful Echo Park, the area is equal parts trendy and retro – bringing you back to old-school L.A.
