Find HotelsIf you’d like to extend your stay, consider adding a day in Malibu to enjoy coastal hikes and fresh seafood, or a visit to the nearby Disneyland Resort for a full‑day theme‑park experience. To shorten the trip, you could combine Day 3 and Day 4 by focusing on either the beach side (Santa Monica/Venice) or the museum side (LACMA/Getty), and skip the Universal Studios visit, which will still keep the itinerary rich while freeing up a half‑day for a relaxed departure.
