| What To Do In Los Angeles For A Week |
Day 1: Hollywood Dreaming (or Not)
Start your LA adventure with a dash of glitz and glamour. Sure, you can gawk at the Hollywood Walk of Fame and snap a pic with the Hollywood sign (from afar, of course – those hills are killer), but let’s be real, it’s all about the real LA. Skip the crowds and head to the Griffith Observatory for stunning city views and a dose of science. Trust me, seeing the city from above is way cooler than staring at names on a sidewalk.
QuickTip: Read again with fresh eyes.
Days 2-3: Beach Please
LA is synonymous with beaches, and for good reason. But let's be honest, not all beaches are created equal. Venice Beach is a colorful chaos of street performers, muscle-bound dudes, and overpriced smoothies. Santa Monica is more family-friendly with its pier and amusement park. If you're looking for something a little more chill, head to Malibu for its pristine beaches and celebrity spotting opportunities.
Tip: Slow down when you hit important details.
Days 4-5: Beyond the Beach
You can't spend a week in LA without exploring beyond the coastline. Head downtown to experience the city's cultural heart. The Broad Museum is a must-visit for art lovers, and the Grand Central Market is a foodie's paradise. For a taste of old Hollywood, check out the iconic TCL Chinese Theatre.
Tip: Read once for flow, once for detail.

And let's not forget about Universal Studios! If you're a thrill-seeker or a movie buff, this place is a dream come true. Just be prepared to wait in line for what feels like eternity.
Tip: A slow, careful read can save re-reading later.
Days 6-7: Desert Dreaming
Escape the city and head to Joshua Tree National Park for a dose of nature. This otherworldly landscape is perfect for hiking, rock climbing, or simply staring in awe at the surreal beauty. If you're feeling adventurous, rent an RV and spend a night under the stars.
Important Tip: Rent a car. LA public transportation is a nightmare.
