Tips Before Visiting Los Angeles

1. Plan Your Time Around Traffic
LA traffic is legendary, so plan your itinerary carefully. Try to schedule attractions by neighborhood—spend one day in Downtown LA, another in Hollywood, and another by the beach. Avoid rush hours (7–10 AM and 4–7 PM), and use Google Maps to check real-time routes.
2. Always Make Restaurant Reservations
With over 30,000 restaurants across Los Angeles County, the city’s food scene is incredible. From fine wine tastings to local taco stands, there’s something for everyone. Make reservations a week or two ahead for popular spots, especially in West Hollywood or Downtown LA.
3. Take Advantage of Free Museums
You can explore many of LA’s top art museums for free, including The Broad, Getty Center, Getty Villa, Hammer Museum, and MOCA. While parking may cost extra, admission is always free.
