Rodeo Drive It is an area of three blocks or golden corners, located in the aforementioned Beverly Hills district, which is famous for bringing together the most expensive stores and boutiques in the world.
On our visit we were walking and window shopping for an hour and a half, but it was Sunday and everything was closed, although we were able to see how they opened a store specifically to serve a customer.
Most stores Rodeo Drive They are from luxury brands well known to all of us.
From there we went by car to explore the Beverly Hills Hills, with continuous ups and downs.
Of course, we didn't know which famous people lived in the mansions we were seeing during the tour, but for a while we followed a minibus of tourists, paying attention to the houses that their guide was pointing out.
We looked at it too but without knowing who the mansion specifically belonged to.
Beverly Hills is a district of Los Angeles, located at the foot of the Santa Monica Mountains.
With about 35.000 inhabitants, it is well known for the large mansions it houses and for being the home of the rich and famous, as well as big movie stars.

During our tour of about an hour we were able to see really beautiful mansions, large and expensive, very expensive.

Jose Luis, can you please help me plan a stay in Los Angeles, I want to visit Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon and San Francisco (optional) that you recommend between June 17 and July 1.
Diana, from the outset I advise you to include a visit to San Francisco. From my point of view (perhaps because I am European), it is an essential visit.
To guide you, I advise you to read these routes that I gave you so you can start preparing yours. In the link you have a list of topics that begins with the aforementioned routes.

Then you tell me something more specific and we'll refine it. I hope it is useful to you 🙂
IT SURE IS BEAUTIFUL BEVERLY HILLS, I was a messenger and I had a chance to see it!
I would like you to help me plan a route that includes Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Francisco, the Grand Canyon and San Diego, we only have 8 days, we arrive and depart in Los Angeles and we will rent a car, thank you
Yamile, in eight days you don't have time to see even minimally everything you want. You must choose. For example, if you go to Los Angeles, you can see Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon, and little else. And if you want to go to San Francisco, you will also only be able to see Los Angeles and San Diego. But, honestly, you don't have time for everything.
If you choose, I can help you plan it.
Hello Jose Luis. I'm going to be in Los Angeles for 3 days. Do you think you can help me plan a tour where I can make the most of that time? We are interested above all in the Grand Canyon.
Thank you.
Let's see, is that three full days? If you want to go to the Grand Canyon, you must practically dedicate yourself almost entirely to the excursion, including visits along the route.
You tell me.
Can you help me plan a route please? if possible with hotel recommendation
Francy, I can guide you to make a route, but you have to tell me the data, that is, days, places of most interest to visit, etc.
What I cannot guide you specifically on is the topic of hotels, although this topic will help you.

a pending account that I have, getting to know that magnificent city
I loved the houses, the shops, everything is very cool but it's bad that I don't live there but I would like to live but it's possible. I don't know the people who aren't famous and I live in Beverly Hills. It's been very difficult to see, but it's cool that they managed to do it. and then having the most expensive stores in all of Beverly Hills and the most expensive stores. I congratulate them. I am going to really want to go to school so that when I grow up I will have a lot of money to give myself the luxury that I want, but at any rate not right now. I can give it to myself, what a shame, but no way one day I will have it like the rich people who live in Beverly Hills or be famous.
Look little one, I'll give you some advice: before you plan to be rich and famous and live in Beverly Hills, you should plan to learn to write Spanish correctly. If your small mind works the same as how you write, I tell you from now on that your future is uncertain because you cannot understand anything at all and you are very, very precarious to express yourself. You lack a basic intellectual level. Greetings.
I would like to know if on the 4th of July tourist activity takes place normally or if everything is closed. Thank you so much.
Diana, I can't answer you, but I assume that big LA attractions like Universal Studios and Disneyworld will surely be open. Otherwise, the vast majority of visits are in open areas.
