Tips

If you need more time, add an extra day to explore nearby neighborhoods like Venice Beach or take a day trip to Malibu for coastal scenery. To shorten the trip, skip either Universal Studios or Disneyland and replace it with a relaxed morning at the Getty or a quick visit to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, allowing you to still experience LA’s highlights without the full park days.
