Los Angeles is a vibrant city to visit at any time of the year thanks to its numerous attractions associated with the film industry and Hollywood.
Being October, the emphasis is on Halloween with a veritable fright fest to choose from specifically aimed at adults - the LA Natural History Museum is even offering a meet-and-greet with over 200 species of spiders.
If creepy crawlies are not your thing, October is a good month to take in a baseball or basketball game the weather will still have that summer vibe unlike many other places in the States.
No visit to Los Angeles is complete without a trip to Santa Monica Pier and Venice Beach, the end of the infamous Route 66 and home to an eclectic mix of people, beautiful open beaches and stunning sunsets.
If you can’t resist a few souvenirs try a visit to Abbot Kinney Boulevard which is lined with independent shops, bars and the very popular Salt & Straw ice cream store.
Whether you’re looking for a gourmet experience, open air movies, beautiful beaches or quiet parks to escape to, there is something for everyone in Los Angeles.
