Day 1: Start Los Angeles
Location: Los Angeles
Accommodation: Kawada Hotel (or similar)
Accommodation Name: Kawada Hotel (or similar)
Dreams and stars and glitz and grit - oh yes, you've arrived in none other than legendary Los Angeles. This city is yours to uncover as you wish - think freestyle fun with some expertise from our LA local to point you in the right direction. Maybe you'll bar hop Sunset Boulevard, amble along the Hollywood Walk of Fame, or do both with a spot of people watching in Venice Beach in between. We'll hook you up with a 'ho ho', a 48 hour Hop-on-hop-off bus ticket, so you can get around with the top down on what is definitely one of the best ways to see the city. Staying in Little Tokyo, your hotel is in the beating heart of Downtown, a local launchpad right where the action is at.
Day 2: Los Angeles
Location: Los Angeles
Accommodation: Kawada Hotel (or similar)

By now you will have discovered just how sprawling this metropolis is. And you'll probably be feeling pretty thankful you have 5 days here to uncover it. It's the perfect amount of time to ensure you tick off all the touristy stuff - think Universal Studios & Santa Monica Boulevard - and still have time to get fully immersed in all the local cultural fun. Want to know where the locals hang, or better yet, the celebs? Your LA local hotel rep who is exclusive to Contiki travellers, is here to help. Tickets to amusement parks (and transport), entry to museums, whatever you like - just ask and consider it done.
Day 3: End Los Angeles
Location: Los Angeles
That's all folks! You are officially acquainted with the city of angels, and be now will probably be feeling pretty at home. Unless you've "been spotted" and flung into a new life as the next Leo-D, it's time to pack your bags and kick on to your next Contiki adventure.
