Discover Los Angeles with EF

Bright lights, flashy movie stars and a breathtaking setting. Welcome to Los Angeles, the entertainment capital of the world. And although Hollywood is important to the city’s identity, this city offers much more than just celebrity spotting. The vibrant cultural mix of California’s largest urban area offers myriad possibilities, and EF Los Angeles is just steps from the golden sand and Pacific waves of Redondo Beach.

Sightseeing & Culture

For a glimpse of Hollywood, the options are endless. Find your favorite actor’s star on the Walk of Fame and snap photos of yourself in front of the famous Hollywood sign. Spot celebrities from a sidewalk café on Sunset Boulevard and surfers from a beach chair on Santa Monica Beach. Head to the multi-disciplinary Getty Center, a campus for cultural institutions perched on the city’s hillside.

Shopping

Window shop at the chic boutiques of Rodeo Drive in the exclusive Beverly Hills neighborhood. Browse the brand-name shops of the open-air Grove mall. And rub shoulders with movie stars outside the storefronts of Melrose Avenue.

Sports & Outdoors

Los Angeles is bisected by a mountain range and bordered on the south and west by the Pacific Ocean, so locals are no strangers to the outdoors. Hike in the Santa Monica Mountains. People watch while jogging down the Venice Beach Boardwalk. Hop atop a long board during weekly surf lessons on the swells of Redondo Beach, literally steps from the EF school. And experience the unrivaled glitz of attending a Los Angeles Lakers basketball game.

Excursions

Play blackjack and sip cocktails in Las Vegas. Sample fresh seafood at San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf and surf on San Diego’s mission beach. You’ll find unspoiled nature on a trip to Yosemite National Park and island paradise on a getaway to Hawaii.
