Go City Los Angeles: Explorer Pass

Tips for Visiting Los Angeles

• Plan for Traffic: LA is notorious for its traffic. Avoid peak hours (7-10 AM and 4-7 PM) if possible.
• Rent a Car: LA is still a car-centric city. Renting a car will give you more flexibility to explore.
• Explore Different Neighbourhoods: LA is spread out. Visit neighbourhoods if you have time, like Hollywood, Venice, Downtown, Santa Monica, Silver Lake, and Koreatown to get a taste of the city’s variety.
• Hit the Beaches: Visit Venice Beach, Santa Monica Pier, and Malibu for quintessential LA beach experiences. Each offers something unique, from street performers in Venice to serene landscapes in Malibu.
• Take a Hike: LA has some great hiking spots with amazing views. Check out Griffith Park, Runyon Canyon, or the trails in the Santa Monica Mountains.
• Visit Museums: Don’t miss the Getty Center for art and stunning views, LACMA for contemporary art, and the Griffith Observatory for astronomy and great city views.
• Try the Food Scene: LA’s food scene is incredible. Try tacos from a food truck, grab a meal at a high-end restaurant, and don’t forget to explore ethnic neighbourhoods like Koreatown and Little Tokyo.
• See a Movie in Hollywood: Catch a film at the TCL Chinese Theatre or visit the Hollywood Walk of Fame. For a more local experience, try the Hollywood Forever Cemetery movie screenings.
