The rambling metropolis of Los Angeles sprawls across the thousand square miles of a great desert basin, knitted together by an intricate network of congested freeways between the ocean and the snowcapped mountains. Its colorful melange of shopping malls, palm trees and swimming pools is both mildly surreal and startlingly familiar, thanks to the celluloid self-image that it has spread all over the world.
With only limited space between the desert, the mountains and the ocean, Los Angeles has long since filled in the gaps between what were once small and isolated towns. As a result, it's a massive conglomeration of interconnected, amorphous districts, often with little in common.
If Los Angeles has a heart, however, it's downtown , in the center of the basin. It offers a taste of almost everything you'll find elsewhere around the city, from upscale avant-garde art along Bunker Hill to the abject dereliction of Skid Row in the Eastside, compressed into an area of small, easily walkable blocks. The area around downtown contains some decaying Victorian suburbs, 1920s Art Deco buildings and the center of Los Angeles's enormous and growing Hispanic population.
Heading west from downtown to the coast, the first major district you come to, Hollywood , has streets caked with movie legend - even if the genuine glamour is long gone. Adjoining West Los Angeles is home to the city's newest money, shown off in Beverly Hills and along the Sunset Strip. Santa Monica and Venice to the west are the quintessential seafront Los Angeles of palm trees, white sands and laid-back living, while the coastline itself stretches another twenty miles northwest to glamorous Malibu , home to the movieland elite.
Suburban Orange County , to the southeast, holds little of interest apart from Disneyland and a handful of laid-back beach towns. On the far side of the northern hills lie the San Gabriel and San Fernando valleys , or simply "the Valley," seen by mainstream Los Angeles as nothing more than depressing tract homes and endless strip malls - not unlike the generic Los Angeles stereotype viewed by the rest of America.
All European and many domestic flights use Los Angeles International Airport - always known as LAX - sixteen miles southwest of downtown
