A deep dive into Los Angeles

Explore Los Angeles

Experience Los Angeles with a private guide and discover the city’s landmarks and local favorites. Walk along Hollywood Boulevard and see the Walk of Fame, visit Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive, and enjoy the sun at Santa Monica and Venice Beach. Explore cultural attractions like the Getty Center or Griffith Observatory and taste diverse food from street tacos to fine dining. A personal guide will create a custom tour of Los Angeles, showing you the best parts of the city.

Academy Museum of Motion Pictures

The history of moviemaking finally has a home in Los Angeles with the arrival of the Academy Museum. The collection includes the sorts of cinematic treasures you’d expect from the people who put on the Oscars (and yes, you can hold one): Marlon Brando’s prosthetic jaw from The Godfather, C-3PO, and the sole surviving shark from Jaws, among many others. Check out our full guide to the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.

Ahmanson Theatre

The Ahmanson Theatre, located at The Music Center, is where we showcase the plays and musicals that everyone has been talking about or will be talking about. It’s where we produce and present pre-Broadway runs as well as the best of Broadway and the West End, turning a night at the theatre into a true event.

Angelino Heights

Often called Los Angeles' first suburb, the hilltop residential area of Angelino Heights lies two miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles, near the communities of Echo Park and Silver Lake. The area was planned as a respectable, genteel Victorian neighborhood for Los Angeles' late 19th century upper-middle class.

Angels Flight Railway

You can see it in more than a hundred movies, read about it in dozens of books, and even do skateboard tricks in a video game version of it. And yes, you can actually ride the legendary Angels Flight like locals and visitors have done for generations.

Battleship USS Iowa Museum

Explore one of the most powerful weapons of the past and experience naval history through fascinating permanent and temporary exhibitions, including a naval artifacts gallery and the Korean War-era HUP-2 helicopter. USS IOWA represents the largest — and last — class of battleships built by the United States Navy. The IOWA class battleships served in every US conflict from World War II through the Gulf War in 1991.

Beverly Center

Bradbury Building

Built in 1893, this building’s light-filled Victorian count rises 50 feet with open-cage elevators, marble stairs and ornate iron railings. In the true spirit of Los Angeles, it has been featured in many movies, from DOA to Blade Runner.

Bronson Caves

The Bronson Caves are one of the most off-beat, interesting, and unique attractions inside Griffith Park — and they also happen to be one of the easiest to access AND a pretty solid place to get a view of the Hollywood Sign, too.

Cabrillo Beach

Cabrillo Beach is a historic public beach located in San Pedro, Los Angeles, California. It is named after Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo, a Portuguese explorer who was the first to sail up the California coast. Cabrillo has two separate beach areas.

Cabrillo Marine Aquarium

California African American Museum

The museum focuses on enrichment and education on the cultural heritage and history of African Americans with a focus on California and western United States. Admission is free to all visitors.

California Science Center

This child-friendly Exposition Park museum features permanent exhibitions that explore life sciences, human innovation and powered flight. But there’s very little question what the real attraction is here: the Space Shuttle Endeavour, which was very pubicly paraded through L.A. over three days and three nights to reach its temporary home at the Samuel Oschin Pavilion. A permanent structure that will display the ship upright is in the works—which means Endeavour will only be on view in its current location until the end of 2023.

Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels

Standing in the midst of downtown Los Angeles, the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels serves the total Archdiocese of over 5 million Catholics. As the heart of all 287 Parish Churches and communities, it is the place where the Archbishop celebrates the major Liturgies of the year with clergy, religious and laity.

Chinatown

Exploring Los Angeles Chinatown is a rewarding adventure. This colorful urban setting, only a stone’s throw from the city’s civic and cultural center, explodes in a fantasy of sights, sounds and colors during Chinese New Year, Chinatown Summer Nights each Summer and each fall, Moon Festival and CicLAvia. Every day of the year, Chinatown is a veritable movable feast for the senses, a vibrant center of commerce, tourism, culture and community.

Chinese American Museum

The Chinese American Museum is a museum located in Downtown Los Angeles as a part of the El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historic Monument. It is dedicated to the history and experience of Chinese Americans in the state of California, the first such museum in Southern California.

City Hall

Los Angeles City Hall is the seat of government for the city and an architectural marvel sporting an art deco design that's defined as modern American. Its towering splendour is a symbol for the city, as its image appears on much of the city's official documents, seals, badges, and postcards. The building is open to the public, so you can see this piece of history up close. Inside, you'll find alluring aesthetics as impressive as the outside, with hanging chandeliers and high ceilings. Most of the time visitors spend about an hour here.
