Los Angeles may be the birthplace of Hollywood, but there is so much more to this city than red carpets and movie stars (although there are still plenty of those). The city is sprawling, making it an enjoyable, multidimensional visit that offers many activities for holidaymakers of all ages. There are plenty of amazing things to do in Los Angeles, and with a thriving art scene, an exciting hotch-potch of restaurants and bars to choose from, plus surf, sea and sun on tap, there’s a reason why it’s still the number one city on the West Coast.

What month is the best to visit Los Angeles?

Los Angeles is lucky enough to have beautiful weather year-round, but some months reign supreme. We recommend going to LA in the early autumn or late spring for milder weather and more manageable crowds.

How many days should I spend in Los Angeles?

Los Angeles is huge, and the public transport system leaves little to be desired, so you will likely be driving between activities. If you have the time and want to get to know the city, we recommend spending five days to avoid feeling rushed. This amount of days means you can enjoy all the things to do in Los Angeles while not rushing from Abbot Kinney boulevard to the Griffith Observatory.
