A couple of young Brits recently crashed at my place while passing through Los Angeles on their around-the-world backpacking adventure. Here less than two full days, they had to prioritize what they would find most memorable. Not surprisingly, after an afternoon at the beach, their focus immediately turned to Hollywood and Beverly Hills.

Despite the fact that they may not always meet visitors' expectations (your chances of spotting a celebrity are slim), the glitter of Hollywood and glamour of Beverly Hills never seem to wane. My friends wisely chose to squeeze in visits to some of the classic attractions and historic landmarks that continue to withstand the test of time.
