Los Angeles itineraries

Hollywood to the Sunset Pier

First time in LA? Walk the stars in the morning, do the lamp-post forest and Rodeo by day, and stand under the Santa Monica Ferris wheel at sunset. One straight run east to west by car.

Downtown and the Hills from Koreatown

Base in Koreatown: Downtown is ten minutes by subway, Griffith twenty by car, and the night smells of grilling meat. Day one walks Downtown from Union Station and ends at the observatory at dusk. Day two is the Getty and the Farmers Market.

Studios and Malibu from Hollywood

Stay at Hollywood/Highland and Universal is one subway stop away. Day one is the theme park, day two a real working lot and the Huntington gardens, day three a rental car up the Malibu coast with In-N-Out on the way to the airport.
