Top 10 things to see in Los Angeles
Culture, nightlife, sun, sand, and the Hollywood Hills, L.A. has it all. But as the second largest city in the U.S. knowing what to do on a trip here can be a little daunting. Here are our top ten attractions to help you see the city at its best.
Universal Studios Hollywood
Of course the world-famous film studio and theme park is on the list. Make sure to book your Universal Studios Hollywood tickets early so as not to be disappointed!
Griffith Park
For a little bit of greenery away from the roar of the city, head to Griffith Park. One of the largest urban parks in North America, you can spend the day hiking or just relaxing.
Venice Beach
When in L.A., how could you not head to the Venice Beach to take in the sights and sounds? Spend some time relaxing on the sand or enjoying live music and street performers.
Walt Disney Concert Hall
Home to the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Walt Disney Concert Hall is one of the most spectacular concert halls in the world, both for the sound and the architechtural design.
Hollywood Sign
No trip to L.A. would be complete without seeing the Hollywood Sign. And of course you should get a holiday snap with the hills behind you. Go on, everyone does it.
The Dolby Theatre
The famous Dolby Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard is home to many red carpet events and is an important part of L.A.'s celebrity culture. A definite stop to make on any sightseeing tour.
California Science Center
Why not take a tour at the California Science Center one of the best science museums on the planet and expand your knowledge of the world, the universe, and everything else?
Park La Brea
In the mood to spot celebrities? Go for a wander through Park La Brea. This housing complex is home to a number of famous people and offers insight into how the other half lives.
Los Angeles Zoo & Botanical Gardens
If you're craving some wildlife, then make a stop at Los Angeles Zoo one of the most impressive zoos in the world. And of course a stroll through the Botanical Gardens wouldn't hurt either.
Mulholland Drive
Head along at dusk for spectacular and inspiring views of the San Fernando Valley from Mulholland Drive. One of L.A.'s top attractions is the view of the city itself.
Planning Your Los Angeles Visit
When to visit Los Angeles?
The best time to visit the city is in the summer. From June into September there's plenty for tourists to do. Perfect beach weather and good temperatures all day long.
How to get around?
Los Angeles has a good public transport system for some of the city, but not all of it. In the more tourist-friendly areas, you can hop on and off of metro buses, DASH buses, and metro rail trains. But if you want to see the city for yourself and cover more ground around the beach areas, why not rent a car?
Where to stay?
If you're looking for somewhere that's not too expensive, then head to the downtown area. You'll find some great hotels that are well-connected to the city, but not so close to some attractions. West Hollywood is another good, but more expensive choice. Or why not book a stay at the beach in Santa Monica?

What people are saying about Los Angeles
Fantastic tour! Perfect for TV and movie lovers!
This was a great tour and so fascinating to learn about the art of filmmaking. You get to see exterior sets where shows like Gilmore Girls and Big Bang Theory were filmed and learn how they create (and reuse!) the sets, as well as interior filming sets and sound rooms. We got to sit on the Friends couch, look at the various Batmobiles up close, see costumes from films like Casablanca, Harry Potter, Justice League and A Star is Born, and learn about the crazy number of props used in movies over the years. You can’t go to LA without booking this tour!
Was a real insight to the celebrity world
A good explanation of each house with some really well known celebrities houses and some you are just a few feet from their front door even ..lol!
Jacob looked after us extremely well during our trip.
The trip is an excellent way to get to see Palm Springs in a day. There was enough variety with a desert visit, a zoo trip, a good sample of mid century architecture and some shopping on the way home.
The tour was very informative and fun...
My friends and I had a good time and the instructor was nice and patient with beginners like myself...
Our guide Zahir was excellent; so very friendly and very helpful.
Details of the tour were quite inadequate, with no details of the time, or where we had to catch the tour (we were staying in a private residence rather than a hotel). I had to call the contact number to find out this info. However the lady who took my call was so very helpful.
