Places to stay in Venice, California

Venice is a district on the Westside of Los Angeles, California.

Throughout the summer months, the boardwalk is actively entertaining, and this tradition continues on weekends in the winter. It is an important tourist attraction in Southern California, and has retained its popularity in part because it is an attractive location for walking and bicycling.

Local restaurants include Gran Blanco, Eggslut, Cafe Collage, and Great White.
