22. POV: you step off the plane in LA, Hollywood energy, coastal breeze, and palm trees that never end☀️🌴

💡Often called “The City of Angels”, is the entertainment capital of the world, home to Hollywood, stunning beaches, and endless sunshine.

The best time to visit is March–May or September–November, when crowds are lighter and the weather is ideal. LA is known for its cultural diversity, top-tier dining, and iconic views like the Hollywood Sign and Downtown skyline. Travelers should plan for traffic (especially during rush hours) and consider staying in different neighborhoods, like West Hollywood, Santa Monica, or Downtown, depending on their vibe and plans.

26. No skyscrapers here, just timeless views and endless stories ✨🤎

💡Edinburgh, Scotland’s historic capital, is a walkable city known for its dramatic skyline, medieval Old Town, elegant Georgian New Town, and iconic landmarks like Edinburgh Castle and Arthur’s Seat. It’s especially popular in August during the world-famous Fringe and International Festivals, so book ahead. The weather is unpredictable, so pack layers and comfortable shoes. Public transport is reliable, but much of the city is best explored on foot. Don’t miss the Royal Mile, local whisky, and a ghost tour if you’re into spooky legends. Edinburgh is safe, welcoming, and rich with history, charm, and culture.
