Visit the Hollywood sign

Perhaps one of the most iconic and popular tourist spots in Los Angeles lies in Hollywood. Visiting the Hollywood sign is a sight to behold and just like the Statue of Liberty in New York, as well as other iconic film spots around the world, it’s one of those things you must do while you’re here.

While it might not be quite as grand as it looks in the movies, it’s still a fairly large sign and one that’s certainly hard to miss when visiting for the first time.

Spend time near the Santa Monica Pier or the Venice Boardwalk

There are a few great spots to enjoy the sights of Los Angeles and when it comes to some popular hotspots for tourists, it’s a good idea to head to Santa Monica Pier. It symbolizes the heart of Santa Monica and is certainly a great place to kick back and enjoy some funfair-esque entertainment.

As a large double-jointed pier, you’ll find a small amusement park, concession stands as well as great areas to view the surrounding areas. If you’re someone who likes a slower pace on their vacation, they also have some great fishing spots.

Another popular choice is the Venice Boardwalk. If you’re someone who loves to walk, you’ll love this two-mile stretch. However, don’t let that put you off as there are hundreds of street vendors and performers along the way that will surely be a great place to take a breather.

Go celeb-spotting with StarLine tours

If you love celeb and entertainment news outlets, then you love the StarLine tours. These buses take you on a trip to the local celeb houses for anyone who is eager in trying to spot an A-list celebrity or two on their vacation. It may not be for everyone but it’s a great tourist option to try out.

Hire a car to get around more efficiently

If you’re looking to make the most of the trip, then it’s a good idea to look at hiring a car. Of course, you’ve got the option of an Uber or Lyft but having your own car can give you the flexibility of travel, as well as seeing some sights up close.

Make the most out of the free museums

Finally, make sure you get the most out of the free museums. There’s nothing like embracing a bit of the local history and culture that exists in this state.
