Top 3 Things To Do When Visiting Los Angeles

See The Hollywood Sign

A USA travel bucket list item is to see (and ideally hike) the Hollywood sign. It is one of the most iconic landmarks in Los Angeles, sitting atop the Hollywood Hills and symbolizing the city's film industry.

Rodeo Drive

Rodeo Drive is another iconic LA destination, especially for anyone who loves fashion. It is a three-block stretch of some of the world's most famous fashion brands. Rodeo Drive s also a great place to people-watch and soak up the glamour that is Beverly Hills. The street is lined with palm trees and elegant buildings, also making it a very Instagram-able spot.

Visit The Museums

If you're interested in art and culture, Los Angeles has several world-class museums and galleries. The Getty Center is a must-visit for art lovers, with collections of European paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts. The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) features cutting-edge contemporary art, while the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) has an extensive collection of ancient and modern art from around the world.
