Attractions in Los Angeles

The Hollywood Walk of Fame stretches 1.3 miles along Hollywood Boulevard, with over 2,700 terrazzo and brass stars honoring icons of the entertainment industry — from Marilyn Monroe to Mickey Mouse.

Walt Disney Concert Hall is a Frank Gehry-designed stainless-steel masterpiece in the Bunker Hill area of downtown LA. Home to the LA Philharmonic, its swooping metallic curves have become one of the city's most iconic architectural landmarks.

The Watts Towers are 17 interconnected towers of steel, mortar, and found objects — the 33-year labour of Italian immigrant Simon Rodia. Rising to 30 metres, they're the world's largest single-construction artwork by one person.

Santa Monica Pier is an iconic oceanfront landmark at the end of Route 66, with a solar-powered Ferris wheel, vintage 1920s carousel, and views stretching from Malibu to the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

The Bradbury Building (1893) is a Victorian commercial building in DTLA whose unremarkable exterior conceals a breathtaking interior — a sky-lit atrium ringed by wrought-iron balconies, ornamental cage lifts, and marble stairs, famous from Blade Runner.

El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument preserves the founding site of the city (1781), with 27 historic buildings, the Avila Adobe, the Old Plaza, and a museum documenting LA's multicultural origins.

The Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine is a 10-acre meditation garden surrounding a natural spring-fed lake in Pacific Palisades, founded by Paramahansa Yogananda in 1950. It's one of LA's most peaceful hidden gems.
