Start your trip by visiting Hollywood Boulevard where you can see the stars on the Walk of Fame, visit the TCL Chinese Theatre, and see the Hollywood Sign in the distance. You can take a walking tour or rent a bike to explore the area. Don't miss the street performers and the Hollywood Museum.
If you're a movie buff, make sure to visit Universal Studios Hollywood. You can take the studio tour, experience the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and go on thrilling rides like Jurassic World - The Ride and Transformers: The Ride 3D. There are also plenty of restaurants and shops to explore.
Santa Monica Beach is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to LA. Walk along the pier and see the Ferris wheel, take a bike ride along the boardwalk, and soak up the sun on the beach. Don't miss the Muscle Beach outdoor gym, where you might spot some bodybuilding celebrities.
If you have more time in LA, consider visiting other popular attractions like the Getty Center, Griffith Observatory, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. If you have less time, you might want to skip Universal Studios Hollywood or just visit for a half-day. Keep in mind that traffic can be heavy during rush hour, so plan your route accordingly.
