Beaches, But Make It Glamorous
You can't talk about LA without mentioning the beaches. Santa Monica is the classic, with its pier, amusement park, and the iconic Ferris wheel. But if you're looking for something a bit more exclusive, Malibu is your oyster (or should I say, your clam?). Just beware of the occasional celebrity sighting that might make you feel like a total normie.

Culture Vultures Rejoice!
LA is not just about sun and surf. It's a city brimming with culture. The Getty Center is a must-visit for art lovers, with its stunning architecture and world-class collection. If you're more into the prehistoric, check out the La Brea Tar Pits. Who knew tar could be so fascinating?
