In a nutshell
Home to Hollywood's movers and shakers, anyone who's anyone lives in this exclusive town with its designer boutiques and upmarket cafés. You can take a tour around some of the super-luxury villas and mansions where the stars live. You'll see every conceivable architectural style and hear amusing stories about the quirks and scandals of the beautiful people. In the summer you can ride the classic Beverly Hills Trolley which shows you the stars' homes and also some of the beautiful public buildings like the Civic Centre and MGM building. Of course, celebrities need to shop, so the exclusive boutiques in the 'Golden Triangle' between Rodeo Drive, Dayton Way and Brighton Way might well yield a celeb or two! Rodeo Drive offers wall-to-wall designer shops and 2 Rodeo, an exclusive shopping centre with public square and Victorian-style streetlamps, is a great place to stop for a drink while you plan your next assault. Wilshire Boulevard has four different department stores to shop at, while if you are looking for somewhere to satisfy your appetite after all that exploring, check out 'Restaurant Row' on La Cienega Boulevard, or trendy Beverly Drive for its hip cafés, clubs and restaurants. Of course, that old favourite, Wolfgang Puck's Spago is a great place for celeb spotting!
