Los Angeles
USALos Angeles is a city of sunlit contrasts, where beach towns, canyon trails, and neighbourhood pockets each feel like their own mini-trip. It’s best enjoyed at an easy pace, with one area per day so you can linger over tacos, coffee, murals, and ocean views without spending the whole time in traffic. The city shines in warm, clear weather, when you can move from the coast to the hills and catch that classic laid-back California rhythm.

How many days do you need in Los Angeles?
5 days is the right length for a first trip to Los Angeles. The city is spread out, so give a day each to Hollywood, Santa Monica and Venice, Downtown, and the Getty with Griffith Park. With fewer days you see the highlights at a brisk pace; with more, add a day trip to Malibu or Joshua Tree.
