Home to many Hollywood stars, it is home to some of the most instantly recognizable landmarks in America. Yet Beverly Hills is more than just movie stars, flashy sports cars, posh hotels and high-end shopping - as a stroll around the film industry-dominated city will soon reveal. Let your private guide tell you about what's below the surface of the neighborhood
At just 5.7 square miles, it's a city best explored by foot, with tree-lined streets, botanical gardens and meticulously well-groomed plazas, and much more approachable area than TV may have you believe.
For Beverly Hills is where fashion legends - designers and models - get a plaque embedded in the sidewalk with their name - not just movie stars. It is also where fitness clothing retailer, Lululemon, offers free yoga classes and hosts a weekly run club - both open to the public at no cost. Named after the rolling hills of Beverly in Massachusetts, Beverly Hills was originally just a single ranch that farmed lima beans. It is home to an oil field, underneath the city. It is also the home of the world's first 24-hour Cupcake ATM - bright pink and shaded by a palm tree, dispensing freshly baked cupcakes 24/7. They also bake dog-friendly cupcakes too.
