Over the past few years, travelling as become more convenient and cheaper. Low-cost airlines make it easy for people to head off on singles holidays and explore the world on their own - and Los Angeles, California could be a great place to start. Safe enough to be explored on its own, the city is a vibrant metropolis offering the chance for people to take part in a wide range of activities, from heading out into the hills of California for a adventure tour, going shopping on the world famous Rodeo Drive or celeb spotting downtown. What to do in Los Angeles As the second biggest city in the US and the largest in California, there is plenty going on in Los Angeles. One of the city's best known attributes is its links to the film industry and many of people's favourite TV shows and movies may have been filmed here. Just strolling around LA could give visitors the chance to catch a glimpse of a famous face - but those who really want to get up close and personal with their favourite stars could go on a homes tour through plush neighbourhoods such as Bel-Air and Brentwood. The homes of stars including Tom Cruise, Nicholas Cage and Angelina Jolie are featured in the tours, with the former houses of screen legends Marilyn Monroe and Judy Garland also included. Film buffs could head to the famous Viper Room club, which was once owned by screen star and Hollywood heartthrob Johnny Depp, or wander around the high-end boutiques on Rodeo Drive and get a taste for the life of the rich and famous from the move Pretty Woman. Well known TV shows including Dexter, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the OC have all been filmed in Los Angeles, so TV fans may find themselves in familiar surroundings when on a walk around the city. Movies including Superbad and the big screen adaptation of TV cartoon Transformers were also partly shot in the sprawling city. Getting out of the city Once all the filming locations and Hollywood star's mansions have been seen, visitors to Los Angeles on a single traveller holiday could be craving a day out in the quiet and picturesque hills which surround the city. An adventure tour into the hills can give visitors the chance to get a look at Los Angeles from a whole different angle and with camping available in many areas, single holiday travellers can experience a night in the California wilderness. The state of California is an ideal place from which to explore the Grand Canyon, which at 277 miles long is a truly majestic sight and an ideal place to take an adventure tour. However, there is a place nearer to the city which could prove more convenient for people visiting Los Angeles - Chino Canyon. Visitors can take a ride over the huge canyon on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, which takes them up over 8,500 feet in just ten minutes. A visit to the canyon can include a number of activities ideal for a thrill-seeking break, including cross country skiing, hiking and climbing. The canyon is nearly nine kilometres long and adventure holiday fans could also be interested to learn that it is, in parts, bordered by the Mount San Jacinto State Park, another area perfect for outdoor activities such as hiking and climbing. A place to relax While Los Angeles may be seen as a place to party, it can also be ideal for those who want a little downtime and the chance to kick back and relax. From large clubs to smaller venues frequented by those in the know, the city boasts a number of well known clubs including Chateau Marmont. Celeb spotters in particular could find this the best place to visit as it is a famous haunt of many of the rich and the beautiful of Los Angeles. City visitors with a taste for the rock and roll lifestyle may want to head to Whisky A Go Go, a club on West Sunset Boulevard which has played host to bands including the Doors and Led Zeppelin.
