Los Angeles is a vast and exciting city, sparkling with the glamor of Hollywood, beautiful scenery, a fantastic food scene and so much more. As long as you understand that L.A. is like an umbrella, for which many different areas live under it, with very different personalities, then you can best plan for your next visit.
