Museums
Incredible place! My favorite museum in LA - built to resemble a Roman bath house and filled with ancient art! Tickets are free but reservations are required - parking is not free, but could possibly find parking in surrounding areas or get dropped o...
The Getty Villa
A great art museum, filled with medieval and renaissance art, all the way to contemporary art. Large, can spend a few hours here! Reservations are recommended- parking is not free but can be dropped off!
The Getty
Amazing space museum with a working telescope! Best to come in the evening when the telescope is open for a cool view of a star! Great to walk around, has some free parking options as well (some hiking required) or pay to park closer.
Griffith Observatory
Walking Around Town
Great to walk around and see the end of the historic Route 66! Best to be dropped off but they do have lots here as well for a fee.
Santa Monica Pier
Check out the stars at the walk of fame! Also check out the outdoor mall next to the Chinese Theatre and get a great view of the Hollywood sign!
Hollywood Walk of Fame
Check out the Chinese Theatre and read all the amazing inscriptions from the great actors from our time and decades before! Goes as far back as the 30s. Right on the walk of fame and get nice views of the sign!
TCL Chinese Theatre
…and More!
You can hike BEHIND the sign! One of my favorite trails! Hike up to the wisdom tree and continue on all the way to the sign and back. Total time is about 3-3.5 hours. Get amazing views of LA and the Valley!
Discover The Best Hiking Paths Around the Hollywood Sign

Malibu Creek State Park
The most amazing beach with CAVES! Some limited free parking available on the street - and a hike down a cliff (with some stairs) - great opportunity to see marine wildlife, I’ve seen starfish, anemones, mussels, crabs and dolphins! GO WHEN TIDE IS L...
