Secret Los Angeles cover

Let Secret Los Angeles guide you around the unusual and unfamiliar. Step off the beaten track with this fascinating Los Angeles travel guide book and let our local experts show you the well-hidden treasures of a fascinating city. Ideal for local inhabitants, curious visitors and armchair travellers alike. The places included in our guides are unusual and unfamiliar, allowing one to step off the beaten track. 

Secret Los Angeles features 140 new secret and unusual locations. A concrete jungle surrounded by abundant nature, Los Angeles is surprisingly more than just celebrities, beaches, and theme parks. From bison in the wild, to the actual end of Route 66, an old Cold War army base, a monument to a Japanese man recognized as Righteous Among the Nations, the original Batcave, a unique statue of a shirtless Abraham Lincoln, and an abandoned Nazi camp, the L.A. urban sprawl is packed with unusual and secret treasures.
Intended for everybody, visitors and locals alike, who would like to explore the city in depth, this guide seeks to dispel the misguided image of a megalopolis that is often superficially dismissed or even disliked.

Far from the crowds and the usual cliches, Los Angeles is still a reserve of well-concealed treasures that only reveal themselves to those who know how to wander off the beaten track, whether residents or visitors. An indispensable guide for those who thought they knew Los Angeles well, or who would like to discover the hidden face of the city.
