Los Angeles is a place where nature and Hollywood glamour collide. Yes, you’ve got the big film studios and iconic spots like TCL Chinese Theatre and the Walk of Fame. But there’s also gorgeous beaches, hiking trails, and snow-capped mountains just a drive away. Spend time exploring the Westside where you can bike along the beach in Santa Monica. Go shopping on Abbot Kinney in Venice, or take a drive up Pacific Coast Highway to Malibu and check out the unreal coastal views. Then, head east to Downtown for art museums like the MOCA and the Broad, and trendy restaurants. Mexican food is big here, and some of the best can be found at hole-in-the-wall places, taco trucks, or strip malls. Whether you want to go all out or do something more low-key, it’s up to you. We’ve got more ideas below.
