When most tourists visit California, they head straight to the most popular street in Los Angeles- Rodeo Drive. Rodeo Drive is popular for many reasons. One, it has been romanticized and featured in films for years. Two, the street is home to some of the most high-class stores in the United States. Even though Rodeo Drive is just a 3-block stretch of land, hours can be spent rummaging through posh stores and spending a month's salary.

People who grew up in Beverly Hills often call Rodeo Drive home. It is the place to go shopping during the week and the weekend. Some of the most divine clothing and jewelry can be found on Rodeo Drive, as well as celebrities. Big names like Leonardo DiCaprio, Rod Stewart and Britney Spears have been seen happily shopping on the famous street.

No matter what the fancy, Rodeo Drive has it in spades. Everything from men's fashion, to jewelry, sunglasses, pet supplies, and baby clothes can be found at one of the boutiques on Rodeo Drive. Some of the most popular boutiques are Versace, Fendi, and Christian Dior.

The Italian designer Versace is one of the most sought after destinations on Rodeo Drive. The Versace boutique is located next to famous stores including Burberry and Dolce and Gabbana. Versace offers high-end accessories for men and women, jewelry, watches, eyewear, clothing, and home décor. Some of the most popular items for purchase at the boutique are their limited hand bags, sunglasses, and jewelry. Pricing information can be obtained at the Versace store.

Fendi is known for its handbags. Located not far from Versace on north Rodeo Drive, it's the place to go for leather accessories. Although Fendi is known for their handbags, they also sell belts, shoes, sunglasses, and other leather goods. Their accessories come in a range of colors, but they tend to stick with basic colors like red, black, white, and silver. Like most stores on Rodeo Drive, Fendi products don't run cheap. Belts run $160 at the lowest and handbags can run up to $2,000. If Rodeo Drive is too far away, Fendi also offers an online store that is connected with their official website.

Christian Dior is located a little farther down than Fendi, right across the street from Dolce and Gabbana. It is known for its high-end perfumes and versatile clothing. One person could wear a Christian Dior outfit to go shopping in, while another could wear a Christian Dior outfit to walk the red carpet. Their model-sized women's line is especially popular with the young starlets today, including Ashley and Mary Kate Olsen. Like Fendi, Christian Dior offers an online store to purchase clothing, accessories, and perfume. Prices run steep, so be prepared to spend a pretty buck.

Although people flock to these three stores, there are other stores on Rodeo Drive that are becoming more and more popular. High end stores like Dolce and Gabbana, Prada, and Armani draw crowds. However, in the last few years stores on Rodeo Drive like Banana Republic, Guess, and Gap have also drawn crowds for their low prices and beautiful clothing.

Rodeo Drive is a must see attraction for travelers in Beverly Hills. It's a great place to shop, look around, and even people watch. Feel like a movie star and make sure to check out the most famous street in Beverly Hills.
