Beverly Hills Shopping (Self Guided), Los Angeles

Rodeo Drive is the expensively and stylishly dressed home of luxury shopping in the glitzy heart of Beverly Hills. Its name is synonymous with the world's biggest movie and music stars who come here for their fabulous designer clothes and jewelry.

An exploration of the three blocks of Rodeo Drive is an eye-popping affair as you pass by such designer labels as Giorgio Armani, Cartier, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci and Yves Saint-Laurent. Luxury and opulence drip from every store and boutique and without doubt, it is the most famous shopping district in the USA, and one of the most expensive in the world.

While you are here, you may even see a world-famous celebrity or two as well as experience one of the many exclusive events that are hosted throughout the year. They include seasonal holiday spectaculars and jewelry festivals. Indulge yourself in a luxury shopping experience or just admire the extravagance.

Be sure to visit Two Rodeo, a very upscale outdoor shopping plaza. The cobblestones, sculpted marble fountain, architecture, archways, balconies, Italianate piazza and Spanish steps all exude a European charm. In fact, this shopping and dining destination resembles an old continental European avenue. Shop in its designer retailers and dine in smart eateries.
