| What To Do Around Los Angeles |
Beach Bummin' or Culture Vultuurin'?
LA offers a smorgasbord of activities, from the sublime to the ridiculous. If you're a beach bum, Santa Monica Pier is your oyster. Or maybe you're more of a culture vulture? The Getty Center is calling your name. Just remember, sunscreen is your BFF, and parking is a bloodsport.
Tip: A slow skim is better than a rushed read.
Hollywood: It's Not All Glitter and Glam (But It's Close)
You can’t visit LA without a Hollywood detour. Sure, you might not bump into Brad Pitt at the grocery store, but you can definitely gawk at his star on the Walk of Fame. And let's be honest, who hasn't dreamed of stumbling upon a hidden talent show in a dive bar?
QuickTip: Pause after each section to reflect.
