Unlock the Ultimate Los Angeles Adventure: Must-Do Experiences You Can’t Miss

This is a city where imaginative dreams are fostered; a city enthusiastically draped in limitless layers of modern legend and mythology. It’s also inextricably linked to Mother Nature and brimming with cultural resources – no other American city offers such a spectacular mash-up of architectural styles, statements, and role models. Here are the greatest activities and experiences for your trip to La La Land.

Discover the allure of the Venice Boardwalk

The iconic Venice Boardwalk, formally known as Ocean Front Walk, is a must-see when visiting Los Angeles. It’s teeming with hula-hoop magicians, skaters, old-timey jazz groups, solo distorted garage rockers, and artists of all stripes.
Hundreds of people attend the Sunday drum circle for tribal jamming and spontaneous dancing on the grassy hills. Don’t miss the graffitied towers and the free-standing concrete wall, which is always available to aerosol Picassos. Venice Beach is where SoCal’s wilder side comes out to play. It’s like a long, skunk-scented runway lined with soaring palms, tattoo parlors, and graffiti art.

The Getty Center provides a dose of art and culture

The Getty Center, a cultural castle in the sky, provides both tangible and symbolic highs. Then there’s the breathtaking view, which includes hillside mansions, the Pacific Ocean, and the unashamed sprawl of the Los Angeles basin.
From medieval triptychs to starry Van Gogh sky, this billion-dollar art museum displays centuries of exquisite invention. Then there are the spectacular gardens, which are peppered with flaming flowers, world-famous sculptures, and trickling water. The best part is that everything is free, except for parking.

Santa Monica’s hippie-chic vibe will greet you.

Santa Monica is LA’s adorable, charming, hippie-chic younger sibling. It’s a location where real-life Lebowskis sip White Russians alongside martini-swilling Hollywood producers, celebrity chefs eat at family-owned taquerias, and soccer parents and career bachelors shop at plentiful farmers markets. Meanwhile, kids, out-of-towners, and those who love them go to the pier and its spacious beaches, where the iconic solar-powered Ferris wheel and rollercoaster welcomes all.

Celebrate Mexican–American history at LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes

La Plaza de Cultura y Artes, also known as LA Plaza, is a fascinating museum that celebrates the role that Mexicans, Mexican Americans, and other Latinx have had in molding Los Angeles’ past, present, and future. There’s a rich history here to study, from Spanish colonization in the late 18th century and the Mexican-American War (when the boundary crossed the original pueblo) through the Zoot Suit Riots, activist César Chávez, and the Chicana movement. A kid-friendly recreation of 1920s Main Street is on display, as are changing exhibits of modern and contemporary art by LA-based Latinx artists. It’s not far from Downtown’s Mexican market on Olvera Street.

Find the famous’s footprints in Hollywood

No other part in Los Angeles has as much legend as Hollywood. The Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Capitol Records Tower, and the delightfully kitsch TCL Chinese Theatre, where the hand- and footprints of entertainment deities are engraved in concrete, may all be found here. Despite the tourist swarms and gimmicks, the ghosts of Hollywood’s golden period can be found in the Hollywood Museum’s mid-century makeup rooms and the retro booths of time-warped Musso & Frank Grill.

Take a movie studio tour

LA is the world’s filmmaking center, and touring its famed studios is one of the city’s most unique experiences. Warner Bros. gets top billing because it is home to the largest set-construction project in studio history, as well as a booty of Batmobiles.
Universal Studios combines filmmaking and amusement park thrills, while Hollywood is home to Paramount Pictures, America’s second-oldest studio and the location of iconic films such as Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961), Grease (1978), and the TV series Happy Days.
