The Queen Mary
For decades the Queen Mary
ocean liner catered
exclusively to the ultra-rich;
it's now a luxury hotel, with
prices to match, but you can
also take tours of this Art
Deco palace, which doubles as
a museum.
Venice Boardwalk
Venice Boardwalk is like an
outdoor circus - perennially
teeming with rollerblading
jugglers, fire-eaters,
body-builders and other wacky
characters.
Getty Center
With its staggering $1.3
billion endowment, this museum
has snapped up top-notch
paintings and photographs from
such modernist masters as Man
Ray, and decorative arts from
the reign of France's Louis
XIV.
Rodeo Drive
Ogle the price tags and
ostentatious fashions in the
ritzy boutiques of Rodeo
Drive, but keep an eye out for
the celebrities who live in
the nearby hills.
Central Hollywood
The studios have moved away,
but you can still compare shoe
sizes with the stars on the
Walk of Fame, or duck into
Frederick's lingerie museum
for a peek at Cher's knickers.
