The city of Los Angeles is the cultural, financial and commercial centre of
Southern California in the US. It is nicknamed the ‘City of Angels’ because
of two reasons- first its literal meaning in Spanish and second because the
city is home to Hollywood- the centre of world entertainment. Los Angeles
is surrounded by the Pacific Coast, mountains and valleys and coupled with
its year-round Mediterranean climate, it is just about one of the best
places in the world to visit. Other attractions here include its delightful
culinary scene, posh shopping hotspots, and top-class museums and art
galleries.
