Amusing yourself in Los Angeles

Los Angeles, entertainment capital of the world, is a city known the world over. The glamor and glitz of Hollywood has graced a million movies screens around the world. This huge, spread out city is best visited with a coach bus, party bus, mini bus, passenger coach or school bus
chartered from Bus Charter Los Angeles. Traffic in Los Angeles can be unpredictable, and is usually bad at the best of times, so a charter bus makes perfect sense when you’re travelling around Los Angeles as a group.
The name of Walt Disney has been synonymous with California since the 1950s. With his creation of Disneyland in Anaheim, millions of visitors from all over the world have been enthralled by their visit to this grand daddy of amusement parks. Disneyland today has grown over the years, and is now properly 2 parks in one. Easily reached by charter bus from downtown Los Angeles, Disneyland is on the must see list of every charter bus visitor to Los Angeles.
The original Disneyland is now called Disneyland Park, and houses all the old favorites that all of us grew up with. Get off your charter bus, show your tickets at the gate, and head up Main Street, that leads up the Sleeping Beauty’s Castle. Featured in more Mickey Mouse Club and Disney specials than anyone can count, Main Street is where the daily parade takes place. Perennial crowd favorite Space Mountain, in Tomorrowland, blasts visitors off on a trip to the future. For the best that Disney has to offer, your charter bus group will love Fantasyland. All your Disney favorites are here, Snow White, Pinocchio, CInderella and others. Don’t forget the ride Disneyland’s signature ride, the Matterhorn.
After the sights and sounds of Disneyland Park, your charter group will be wanting a break, so stop by Downtown Disney. Over here you can take a break, shop, dine or spend the evening hours in the House of Blues and UVA Bar. Street performers like jugglers, clowns and musicians regularly appear to entertain the guests in Downtown Disney. Be sure that your charter group stops at World of Disney, probably the best store anywhere in the world for all things Disney related.
First opened in 2001, Disney’s California Adventure adjoins Disneyland Park. Not a hit with crowds in the early days, Disney Corporation has endeavoured to redesign the park to meet with visitor expectations of the Disney experience. This park pays homage to the state of California with Golden State, Hollywood Pictures Backlot, Paradise Pier and A Bug’s Land. Aiming to both amuse and educate, along the lines of Disney’s EPCOT Center in Florida, there are great rides in here, such as Soarin’ Over California, a hang glider style ride that never fails to thrill. Fin out how movies are made in the Hollywood Pictures Backlot and let the kids run free in A Bug’s Land.
If you’re planning a group visit to Los Angeles, California, and Disneyland, give Charter Bus Los Angeles a call to find out how we can help you with our fleet of charter buses that cater to any group size and our friendly, personalized service.

Getty Center


There is an interesting saying that most modern Los Angeles folks have, at one point in time, must have written a screenplay. Whether this myth is the truth or merely something floating around in the rumor mill does not matter, Los Angeles is the land of dreams. It is where creative individuals and folks come to see through their creations and live out their ability to entertain and be entertainment – therefore, suffice to say, creative works of arts, entertainment and lifestyle is big for the people here. Art enthusiasts also often make their way to LA from other parts of the country to see if they can get a leg into the door by exhibiting their artworks in flamboyant and beautiful art galleries which can be found in many different parts of LA.
With that in mind, we think that many of our LA charter bus rental customers appreciate it when we suggest making their way to Getty Center, one of the largest art exhibitions and public painting and sculpture display ever! However, there is loads more to see along the Museum Row where you will be wowed by the extensive number of options in front of you. The organizers and management of Getty Center understands that there needs to be change and updates all the time – therefore, they make regular announcements about new exhibits from new artists which is refreshing. Instead of going over to see the same exhibits all the time, there are always new additions which keeps things fresh and interesting.
Although the art exhibitions are, most definitely, the highlight of your charter bus rental vacation, most visitors will spend some time outside at the gardens, breathing in the fresh air after admiring all the impressive works of art. The garden also serves as a romantic hotspots for couples and families, as they gather around under the amazing Los Angeles weather for some bonding time.

Welcome to Los Angeles


Welcome to Los Angeles, land of dreams, sunshine, surf and Hollywood. If you’re travelling here by party bus or limo with Bus Charter LA, chances are, you’re a seasoned traveller rather than a star-struck country bumpkin looking to make it in LaLa Land. What we strongly recommend if you are heading over in a large group is to rent a party bus, charter bus, coach charter or a mini bus from a reliable, reputable and professional bus charter company in LA.
The city is vast, so plan your time well and you’ll be able to maximize the things you can see and do while in LA. From hitting up Venice beach to partying the night away at the Viper Room, we’ve got the best tips on how to transform your trip into one that’s truly legendary.
Start your holiday off in a comfortable party bus with a visit to Venice Beach. You can pump some iron by the beach, rollerblade down the walkway or just stroll on by and visit some of the bohemian cafes and bookstores that dot the area.
Catch a glimpse of the stars at the Hollywood Walk of Fame and see how your hands and feet compare to those of the stars at Grauman’s Chinese Theater  Who knows, you might catch a star making their imprint or just walking by during your charter bus trip.
Get cultured and visit the Getty Center and gaze in awe at masterpieces from the Renaissance period till present day from Ruben, Gainsborough, Renoir, Cézanne and Van Gogh inside while the sculpture garden features Miró and Moore., where it is all best visited in a beautiful party bus or charter bus.
Window shop along Rodeo Drive and see the high-end shops featured in movies then head on over to Anderson Court in the rented party bus, the only shopping mall designed by famed American architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
Go Jurassic! A visit the Museum of Jurassic Technology, not Steven Spielberg’s movie, and discover the amazing wonders of nature such as bats that can fly through walls.
Still on science, go up to the Griffith Observatory, where two major scenes from ‘Rebel Without A Cause’ were filmed and take in the exhibits at the popular Hall of the Sky and Hall of the Eye.
Since it’s LA, you need to party like a rock star, and where better to do that than at The Viper Room. Formerly owned by Johnny Depp and place where River Phoenix passed away, the club still offers up the hippest music and the wickedest drinks in town. Get your Bus Charter LA bus or limo to pick you up from here and you’ll have explored the length and breadth of L.A. in true star fashion.

Check Out These New LA Restaurants


Check out these new restaurants and cafes in Los Angeles' Beverly Hills area which were just opened recently in 2012. While some are more affordable than others, our travel writers have been invited and have explored and eaten at some of these restaurants and here are some of their suggestions.
Burger Lounge may not sound like much to many people here but the Burger Lounge Beverly Hills branch just opened up in the summer this year, all in time for the summer weekend getaways from our bus charter LA customers to enjoy. One may think of burger as an unhealthy and as a fast-food thing but Burger Lounge is about to change the burger scene. Get our charter bus, party bus, LA bus rental driver to take you to this eco-friendly and health-conscious burger 'joint' for their renowned burger aficionados made from fresh local produce and experience burgers at a whole new level.
Another new and worthwhile place to hit in Beverly Hills is Fleming's Steakhouse, according to Bus Charter LA's team of foodie and travel addict writers. Now Beverly Hills folks can enjoy the premium beef at its best. The atmosphere is absolutely stylish and classy, for sure, which makes it the perfect place for corporate functions, birthday dinners, romantic candlelit dinners, anniversary celebrations, etc. If you are organizing one of these, be sure to book your party bus, coach bus, charter bus, passenger coach bus, mini bus, limousine, or even a school bus early and ahead of time.
The other places that Bus Charter LA customers loved are Osteria Drago and a nice little nook called Bibigo. Bibigo is a famous Korean restaurant known for their boiled pork slices with tofu and (of course) kimchi dishes while Osteria Drago may be a little bit off the downtown area, they are a premium restaurant that serves up modern Italian dishes. And since there is no driving to be done when a party bus, charter bus, mini bus or coach bus is used, you can spend the rest of the evening, when you are done with the food, to have an extra glass of premium grade wine.
