Woven into the lyrics of countless songs and portrayed on the silver screen hundreds of times, Beverly Hills is one of Los Angeles' most popular destinations for locals and tourists alike. The land of stars, dreams, great food and expensive shopping, this affluent nook of Southern California is the real-life version of the quintessential LA glitz and glam so often seen in movies. It was on
Rodeo Drive where Julia Roberts had her famous
Pretty Woman shopping spree, and it was at an upscale café called Kate Mantilini where Robert De Niro and Al Pacino made their legendary first on-screen appearance together in the movie
Heat. Beyond some of the most famous
Hollywood moments, Beverly Hills is also known for an abundance of lavish estates and beautiful architecture. Visitors to LA can see the largest mansion ever built in Los Angeles,
Greytone Mansion. Greystone Mansion has been used in many popular films, such as
Indecent Proposal. With all there is to see in this SoCal dreamland,
guided tours often come in handy.
