About
Beverly Hills is an affluent city in California, in the United States, set in the wider Los Angeles area. It is a place many visitors come to see for its polished streets, its upscale character and the reputation it has built around the entertainment industry.
What draws visitors
- Rodeo Drive, the city's best-known shopping street, lined with luxury boutiques.
- Celebrity culture, since the city has long been associated with well-known residents and the film and television world.
- Upscale entertainment, reflected in the city's restaurants, hotels and atmosphere.
Because the city is compact, a visit can be easy to shape around a few hours or a full day. Walking along the shopping streets and taking in the architecture and the atmosphere is the main pleasure for most people, and it suits those who enjoy window-browsing as much as buying.
Planning a visit
Beverly Hills works best for visitors interested in luxury retail, glamour and the image of Hollywood-style wealth. Those looking for natural landscapes or lower-key sightseeing may want to pair it with other parts of the Los Angeles area. Its position in California makes it a convenient stop for anyone already exploring the region.
