US - Los Angeles

When to go:

Los Angeles hotels charge high season rates during the summer. During the summer, tourists from all over flock to the hotels of Santa Monica and the adjacent seaside resorts, from Malibù to Venice.

Summer is not necessarily the best time to spend a holiday in Los Angeles, especially if you decide to stay in a hotel far from the coast: the high temperatures combined with a high pollution rate can make the visit to the famous places painful of Los Angeles.

The other seasons can be a good time for those who propose a visit to the city combined perhaps with social life but not for those who love to make beach life: the Pacific coast is dominated by fog banks that sometimes extend even to urban areas far from the coast. The phenomenon occurs most frequently in the period between March and the first fortnight of August with peaks in June, so the best period for beach life is from the second half of August to the end of September.

Los Angeles extends into a desert area made green by irrigation works and a climate mitigated by ocean breezes.
