City Profile
The second largest city in the US, outside New York, the City of Los Angeles is intertwined with Los Angeles County. The total area consists of more than 4,000 square miles, of which about 10% is taken up by the city. LA County takes in cities like Hollywood, Long Beach, Santa Monica, Pasadena and Beverly Hills. It is also includes 900 square miles of desert, 70 miles of coastline, the Santa Monica Mountains (rising up to 3,000 feet in the air), and the channel islands, Santa Catalina and San Clemente.
L.A. is a great place in which to do business or take a vacation. Marvelous restaurants, terrific nightlife, beaches, diverse cultural offerings, Disneyland and easygoing attitudes converge in a vast territory flooded with sunshine and lined with palms. Nearly everyone should see L.A. at least once, though a single trip will hardly be enough to appreciate such a vast area that's jam-packed with things to do.
