Like many big cities, Los Angeles is a ingathering of little towns, basifixed together with a grid of routes and freeways.

Just About 60 miles across it is one of the biggest cities by region in the US. Crossing from side to side can take an hour, but with freeway traffic conditions you are more likely to take at least large this time.

Downtown LA is more of a commercial-grade district of skyscraper office blocks than a shopping district. You will find shopping in the form of low shopping malls and extended shopping shopping centres patterned all over the LA basin.

In this respect LA is a petty letting down if you were looking for an american variation of London or Paris. Yet there is still plenty to see and do, it just takes a little preparation so that you are not passing your entire time in a traffic jam or driving extended miles crossways city.
