Essential Information for Travelling to Los Angeles
What's the best time to visit Los Angeles?
The beautiful weather makes a holiday in Los Angeles perfect year-round. We recommend visiting from March to May and between September and November for cooler temperatures and fewer crowds.
Do I need a visa?
Currently, many British citizens traveling on a valid, individual machine readable or e-passport, with a return or onward ticket, and who are staying for less than 90 days, qualify for the Visa Waiver Program. This means they can travel visa-free with only an Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA).
Los Angeles Flight Information
To visit Los Angeles, you can fly direct to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) from Heathrow (LHR) in around 11 hours.
How to get around in Los Angeles?
There are several different ways to get around Los Angeles on your holiday. The Metro Buses and subway system run all day. We recommend hiring a car so that you can enjoy the area with ease - just be wary of rush hour traffic! Our Travel Specialists can arrange a hire car as part of your itinerary.
Sightseeing Ideas in Los Angeles
There are so many things to see on holiday in LA, that you might need to book multiple trips! On top of the beaches, museums, and shopping, unmissable things to do include tasting delicious food at Grand Central Market, visiting the Griffith Observatory to explore the cosmos, and heading to Disneyland or Universal Hollywood for some theme park thrills.
