| Beverly hills in Los Angeles |
To see all the glamor of Hollywood , visit the richest area of the City of Angels, the name of which makes all fans of the once popular TV series “Beverly Hills 90210” tremble. The western part of Los Angeles, which has long become an independent town hiding the mansions of world-famous stars behind high armored fences, is always popular with tourists.
Transport
Walking through the vast territory of the “star” area is a real feat for a hiker. Public transport in this area is not developed (don't expect to meet Brad Pitt on the bus), the nearest metro station is a bit far away, so the most convenient way is to rent a car.
There is a rental shop right in the center of Beverly Hills where you will need to show your International Driving License and credit card.
Renting an economy class car for a week will cost you approximately 240 USD.
Cuisine and Restaurants
The two main streets of Beverly Hills - Rodeo Drive and Sunset Strip - are home to the best restaurants in Hollywood, where you can see movie and show business stars at the next table. Classic restaurants in the city include Chasen's, Vic's, Grill, Jimmy's, Planet Hollywood and Spago Beverly Hills. An establishment with more affordable prices right next to Rodeo Drive is the Villa Blanca restaurant with pleasant music, delicious cuisine, and professional service. The bill per person is from 80-100 USD , which makes this place popular not only with celebrities, but also with many tourists.
The optimal tip size is 15-20% of the order amount.
National cuisine is served at Mastro's Steakhouse. Lovers of seafood and romance should visit the Il Cielo restaurant: open terraces and beautiful views make it one of the most romantic establishments in the city.
Shopping and Shops
A paradise for shopaholics, a secret museum of world brands of clothing, shoes, perfumes and cosmetics - all this is Beverly Hills. True, visiting, for example, the Rodeo Collection shopping complex can empty your pockets.
Country milk, fresh vegetables and fruits, baked goods and cakes, and freshly caught fish can be bought at the Farmer's Market. The farmer's market is located near film studios, so movie stars often come there: Marilyn Monroe, members of the Beatles, Elvis Presley, Leonardo DiCaprio were there.

Attractions
You can appreciate the main attractions of Beverly Hills while walking along the “golden triangle” - the intersection of three boulevards: Wilshire, Crescent Drive and Santa Monica.

Night Life
