[2025 Los Angeles Attraction] Travel Guide for Olvera St (Updated Jun)

Olvera Street is located about a 3-minute walk from Union Station in Los Angeles. Olvera Street is known as the birthplace of Los Angeles. The street itself was established in 1930 to celebrate the Mexican traditions inherited in Los Angeles. The 19th century buildings lining the narrow streets and side streets are filled with traditional restaurants and folk craft shops. The moment you enter, you will forget that you are in America and fall into the illusion of being in Central or South America, and you will instantly feel Mexico, with Spanish being spoken everywhere. It is not a big place, but it is close to Union Station and can be reached on foot from Little Tokyo, so it is a place you should visit when sightseeing around downtown. It seems that events are held every year on Cinco de Mayo on May 5th and Los Angeles Birthday Celebration on September 4th, and it seems to be quite lively. #tripmemory2022 #USAtrip #LosAngeles #OverseasTravel #USA

Plan a one-day trip to LA during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday! These 4 attractions may seem far apart, but they’re actually very close! 📍Grand Central Market This place is super popular among locals for food shopping! It’s bustling with activity! I tried a Cuban dumpling-like dish filled with pork—it was packed with flavor and absolutely delicious! 💛 📍Angels Flight Railway Turns out it’s right next to Grand Central Market! I thought it was much farther away (⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎). If you’re a movie buff, you must ride this historic train at least once. It’s only US$1—affordable and fun! 📍Olvera Street I wanted to try churros, and Google immediately pointed me to this Mexican street. Coincidentally, I was planning to visit anyway, so I got to explore the area and enjoy some churros! The caramel churros here are crispy, chewy, and absolutely delicious! No wonder it’s Google’s top recommendation. 📍LA Chinatown Having visited San Francisco’s Chinatown, it’s hard to compare other Chinatowns 🤣. Maybe because it was a holiday, the day I visited was pretty quiet. Still, it’s worth checking out the flowers! The whole street is lined with pink blossoms—I’m not sure if they’re cherry blossoms or something else 🤣🤣. The Dragon Boat Festival is perfect for a one-day trip! 🙆🏻♀️
