Understand[edit]

This is a large conurbation of residential and commercial areas, the border between individual cities sometime a little subtle. There are however between the cities large differences in wealth as well as distinctive cultural and ethnic differences in some suburbs.

Get in[edit]

By plane[edit]

1 John Wayne Airport (SNA IATA) is the best and closest plane connection into the area and to avoid the traffic congestion from LAX. 2 Long Beach AIrport (LGB IATA) is also worth considering if connections are available.

Get around[edit]

Although the OCTA provide a good coverage of the area with buses this is a car metropolitan. People drive everywhere, it is rare to see people walking outside of the malls and a couple of cities that have retail streets.

The majority of the roads have a grid structure. Having the relative position of a few north-south and a few east-west roads in your head will be enough to get around the region without a map, although it takes a little time to remember exactly where the diagonally running Interstate 5 and Interstate 405 cross the main grid roads.
