Downtown Los Angeles

Downtown Los Angeles is the central business district of Los Angeles, California, located close to the geographic center of the metropolitan area. The sprawling, multi-centered megacity is such that its downtown core is often considered just another district like Hollywood or Venice, even though it is home to the city and county governments and the region's tallest skyscrapers; it is not the "heart and soul" of the city like The Loop is to Chicago or Manhattan would be to New York City. The area features many of the city's major arts institutions and sports facilities, a variety of skyscrapers and associated large multinational corporations and an array of public art, unique shopping opportunities and the hub of the city's freeway and public transportation networks.
