City of Los Angeles Travel Recommendations for 2023 (Updated in Dec)

A Visit to Griffith Observatory

Griffith Observatory is located at 2800 E Observatory Rd., Los Angeles, California 90027 United States. It is an Art Deco stargazing spot atop Mount Hollywood in Griffith Park. For those astronomy enthusiasts or who are interested in stargazing is one of the best spot. The Griffith Observatory#GriffithObservatory is one of the most visited observatories in the world with various reasons. Beside arts and stargazing, the view of Hollywood sign from here with the photogenic views is where many visitors as well. Of course, Griffith Observatory's main draw, though the free entry was certainly a bonus. A fee of between $6 and $10 to see the planetarium shows is worth it if you happen to be there too.

Best Viewing Spot in LA

#meetlosangeles Griffith Observatory is a planetarium & astronomy museum, and is a great free thing to do in Los Angeles, California. It’s also great for hikes with excellent panoramic views of the Hollywood Sign, Downtown L.A., and Pacific Ocean on clear days. Griffith Observatory was built to make astronomy accessible to the public, and compete with some of the best mountaintop observatories already existing along the West Coast. Inside the exhibit area of Griffith Observatory today, you can see comparisons to some of these observatories today. If you have never been to Griffith Observatory, it is a must-visit place . It is amazing day or night.

Griffith Observatory

address: 2800 East Observatory Road Los Angeles, CA 90027 (213) 473-0800 not going to lie, we drove to griffith after visiting the renowned Hollywood sign, which you are able to see from Griffith. parking lots were plenty however it is a popular attraction hence might need to spend time finding parking. free admission with lots to see if you’re into telescope and stuff. this place is one of the few in the world that still produces exclusively live planetarium shows if you like such stuff. also, because of how central it’s located and because it’s up the hill, it’s located at a good spot where you can oversea the skyline of LA. beautiful. do check for operating hours. HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you’re in LA. #meetlosangeles #followchelto

California 1 State Route 1

It is the mother of all roads. Impressive as the road links the ocean with the mountains and the forest. Views more magnificent than each other. It is a road to do slowly and enjoy this magical moment.#naturalwonders

The majority of California's Highway One covers the coastline, with mountains on one side and the sea on the other. To get to Los Angeles, we suggest that you drive from the north to the south. This route hugs the coastline. Scenic attractions along the way include the Golden Gate Bridge, Half Moon Bay and Pigeon Point Lighthouse. You can admire the ocean, as well as giant boulders and seabirds, on your journey.

The United States This cliff swing is very dangerous, with the children not recommending it, there is no place to help, so I sent my father to look at it, we look at the cliff, three swings, three big door holes, the first largest The graffiti on the swing is very colorful, a lot of smiles [happy], and these graffiti will change constantly. It seems that some people have specially maintained it. When we go, it is still a bit cold. If you can sit on a swing in the summer, meet the waves. Its very sensation when you take a photo.

The world's most beautiful self-driving road - California Highway No.1, beautiful scenery, all seasons. Also known as the Pacific Coast Highway, connecting the San Francisco and Los Angeles from north to south, it is 276 miles long. The mountain road is winding and winding, and the verdant mountains are endless, with steep cliffs and stunning waves. Bring your own lover and cat and drive as you like.

"This is the most expensive collection acquisition by the Getty Museum since its establishment in 1974, significantly improving the quality of paintings in the museum's collection," said Timothy Potts, director of the museum. Among the 17 newly acquired paintings, there are 16 Old Master paintings and one 18th-century oil painting - "La Surprise". This oil painting was completed by French painter Jean-Antoine Watteau in 1718, depicting a musician playing guitar for a couple dancing. The painting was once considered lost until it appeared on the auction market in 2008 and was finally sold for £12.36 million (approximately $24.49 million at the time).
