There are a lot of great places to visit on the west coast, but one of the most fun and interesting destinations has to be Los Angeles. Not only is LA home to Hollywood, the home of American cinema, but it’s also home to many beautiful sunny beaches, cultural hotspots, delicious food and so much more. If you’re taking a trip to Los Angeles, it can be hard to squeeze everything into one trip. That’s where this article comes in. Read on to learn a little about some of the best places to visit in Los Angeles.
Hollywood Boulevard
Hollywood Boulevard is a must-see when visiting Los Angeles. There are so many things to see in this area, and it’s a great way to explore the city. Take a walk along Hollywood Boulevard and visit some of the most popular attractions such as the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Chinese Theater. There are plenty of tours you can take as well, such as bus tours that bring you around the neighborhoods of Hollywood and show you houses owned by various celebrities.
The Hollywood Sign
The Hollywood sign is one of the most iconic places in Los Angeles, and if you’re looking for a truly unique experience, then take a hike up to it. This is a great way to get a great view of LA and the path you take to get to it, the Wisdom Tree Trail, is fairly steep, but worth the hassle.
The Food
I want to talk about the food scene in LA. There are so many great restaurants in this area, and I’m always on the lookout for new places to try. Some of my favorite places to eat are Phillippe’s for their French Dip, Diakokuya for their ramen, and Guisados for their tacos. While you won’t be able to visit every top-notch restaurant in the area, you will certainly not find your options lacking. This is also a good chance to get out of your comfort zone and try a food you’ve never had before.
Venice Beach
Venice Beach is a great place to visit if you’re looking for something different from LA. It’s a vibrant city that’s right on the ocean, and it features a wide variety of attractions. One of my favorite places to visit is the Venice Canals, which feels incredibly unique for the area and not like anything else you can find in LA.
Getty Center and Villa
The two museums that are owned by the same company, the Getty Center and Villa, are two of the best museums in the country. The former is located near UCLA, and it has a variety of exhibits that include works by Van Gough and Claude Monet. The Villa, on the other hand, is located in the beautiful city of Malibu and has a beautiful central pool as well as plenty of incredible Greek and Roman sculptures.
