When people hear about Beverly Hills, they immediately get an image of sports cars, luxury mansions, high-end shops, and celebrities in their minds. Indeed, well-known by its zip code 90210, Beverly Hills is rather a pricey destination. Even tourists not interested in celebrities and film industry in general will not feel bored in this city as it is packed with entertainment venues, award-winning spas, and excellent restaurants and bars. Tourists who think that everything is overpriced in Beverly Hills are not right as this resort is much more affordable than reality TV shows.
Quite an interesting fact – despite its name, the central part of Beverly Hills is located in a flat area. Wilshire Boulevard, Santa Monica Boulevard and the streets near their intersection are the most comfortable pedestrian areas of the city. Beverly Hills become hilly north of Sunset Boulevard, the place where visitors will see numerous posh estates that cost a fortune. There are also high-end neighborhoods close to the city, such as Westwood, Century City, and West Hollywood. Tourists need a car to get to neighborhoods, but the best way to explore the center of the city is simply to walk on its tree-lined streets, enjoying plazas, trendy shops, and endless restaurants.
