Los Angeles – many cities in one
Los Angeles is not a classic city with a single centre but a patchwork of neighbourhoods spread between the San Gabriel Mountains and the Pacific coast. Each has its own character: Hollywood lives off movie fame, Santa Monica and Venice off the beach and surf, Beverly Hills off luxury, and downtown off museums, concert halls and new restaurants. That is why it is best to plan your visit by area rather than by a list of sights.
What to see
- Hollywood and the hills above it – the Walk of Fame, the famous Hollywood sign and Griffith Observatory, where the city view is best at dusk.
- The coast – Santa Monica Pier, the Venice boardwalk and canals, and for keen drivers the road towards Malibu.
- Art and culture – the Getty Center with its gardens and panoramas, plus the Walt Disney Concert Hall and The Broad museum downtown.
- Entertainment – Universal Studios Hollywood with its film-set tours and, for families, Disneyland in nearby Anaheim.
- Beverly Hills – Rodeo Drive, designer boutiques and streets of celebrity mansions.
Getting around
Distances are huge and public transport does not cover every area equally well, so for most visitors a car is the most practical choice – especially if you are planning a coastal drive or trips out of town. Expect rush-hour traffic and choose accommodation close to the areas you most want to see.
How to fly from Podgorica to Los Angeles
There are no direct flights, so you travel with a connection at a major European hub, sometimes with a second connection in the US. The most common options are:
- Istanbul – Turkish Airlines links Podgorica with Istanbul, from where it flies non-stop to Los Angeles.
- Frankfurt or Munich – Lufthansa and its group airlines, with connections from Podgorica via Vienna or Rome.
- Paris or London – Air France or British Airways, with seasonal flights from Montenegro or a connection in another city.
- The US East Coast – for example via New York, then a domestic flight to California.
In summer, also compare departures from Tivat in the search, as it then has more seasonal routes to European hubs.
Flight time and time difference
The transatlantic leg from Europe takes 11 to 13 hours, and the whole journey from Podgorica with one connection usually takes 16 to 20 hours. Los Angeles is nine hours behind Montenegro, so jet lag is more noticeable – especially on the way home, when you “lose” a day.
Arriving at LAX
Los Angeles International (LAX) lies about twenty kilometres southwest of downtown. FlyAway buses run to Union Station, taxis and rideshare pick-ups are in a dedicated zone served by a free shuttle from the terminals, and you can also take the metro via the shuttle to the LAX/Metro Transit Center station. The drive to Hollywood or downtown takes 45 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on traffic. Car rental companies are located off-airport and run their own shuttles.
When to book
For long-haul flights, it is best to book two to four months in advance. Spring and autumn bring pleasant weather and often lower fares than summer, while July, August and the December holidays are the busiest. Also compare itineraries with longer layovers – they are sometimes much cheaper.
Before you go
- Visa: citizens of Montenegro need a visa to enter the US – check the requirements and procedure in good time on the official US Embassy website.
- First US airport: you clear passport control and customs at your first point of arrival, so allow plenty of time for a US connection.
- Insurance: medical costs in the US are very high, so travel health insurance is strongly recommended.
- Driving licence: before renting a car, check whether you also need an International Driving Permit.
