L.A (I come from Belgium...)
 
Hi everybody
I come from Belgium and I love visited other countries !!
Could you give me other places to visit in Los Angeles or anywhere, please?

Thank you in advance, Sarah

You asked essentially the same question about Florida . . . assuming you are actually traveling to the USA, you first need to get a guidebook or two and decide which part(s) of the country you want to visit . . .

It is a HUGE place and no one can answer such a general question. Narrow things down a bit, tell us which cities/states you want to visit, when the trip is and your interests . . . THEN we can help you.

Here's a link to an online guide. It's quite long.

In Los Angeles, there are some good art museums, the beach, La Brea tar pits, an old Mexican section downtown where the town started, parks, Rodeo Drive for high-end shopping, and entertainment-related stuff (like Hollywood, seeing a TV show taped, etc.). That's just a very brief idea.

Sarah, here are dozens of places in California, mostly in the Los Angeles area that you can enjoy.

Here's a good web site for finding out what there is to see and do in LA.

Sorry - but you really need to do a lot more more. You mentioned Fl and LA (not sure why either one - not wrong but you have told us nothing of your thinking).

If I said to you I wanted to visit Europe - Sicily in one post and Prague in another - what would you say and recommend?

You need to give us a lot more info - and may not be able to until you have looked at a couple of guidebooks.

Do you really have 2 weeks? What time of year are you coming?

Are you traveling alone and on what sort of a budget? If a tiny student budget suggest you look at the Let's Go Student Guide or the Thorn Tree web site.

How do you plan to travel? A lot of places really require a car. Train is useful only in limited areas and plane is much faster and cheaper for many routes.

What are your interests? Big cities, beaches, mountains, art, architecture, fine dining, hiking, biking, clog dancing, archery??????

It would take months to see even a small part of such a huge and diverse country - you really need to give us something to go on.

Peoria, Illinois, is not to be missed.

Excellent suggestion Vince, but Peoria is probably booked up for the next 18 months
