Museums
This is a contemporary art museum with so many cool exhibits, such as the famous balloon art. The surrounding area is also nice and has so many great places to take some flics. Tickets are not expensive and they give student discounts!
The Broad
The observatory has iconic views of the Hollywood sign and all of LA. There are exhibits inside, picnics on the grass while overlooking the observatory, and watching sunsets on the terrace!
Griffith Observatory
Eats
Some of the best tacos I have ever had! It is located right next to echo park which is another beautiful area to walk around. I would recommend getting the Fresa drink paired with the al pastor tacos! It is so delicious.
Leo's Tacos Truck
Located in K-Town, Oakobing is an amazing shaved ice place, or bingsu, with popular flavors like strawberry, mango, and matcha! The portions are perfect for sharing and the inside has such a cute aesthetic!
Oakobing
This is one of the most beautiful and astonishing restuarants I have ever been in. The vibes are amazing and turns into a club later in the night. The food is also delicious and unique!

This mansion is a must visit in LA and is historical to the area. The mansion has endless places to walk around and each portion is so beautiful and photo worthy. It has a great view of LA and even the drive up is pretty!
Greystone Mansion & Gardens: The Doheny Estate
While there are art installations inside, I believe the looks of this place is what stands out. It has beautiful large gardens where you can picnic and beautiful architecture. One of the best parts though is the view over LA!
The Getty
A little further out from LA, but so worth the drive, is the Huntington Library. It's perfect for photo ops and wondering through different scenic areas for hours. The Japanese garden was my favorite space by far!

The Silverlake flea market is great for tourists and locals! If you love unique fashion finds, handmade jewelry, or cool art pieces this is one of the best places to look! It’s smaller than other La markets which makes it much more unique and persona...
