11 Must-See Attractions for a Dreamy Trip to Los Angeles

Rodeo Drive

For a taste of how the rich and famous live, nothing rivals a shopping trip to Rodeo Drive. Set in the heart of Beverly Hills, the 100 plus shops represent some of the most high-end, luxurious brands in the world.

For three blocks surrounding the street, the area resembles a series of European-style cobblestone alleyways that make it more Disneyland than shopping mall. Rodeo Drive also plays host to a series of events during the year including a rare car show and it even has its own “Walk of Style” honoring those who have contributed to the fashion industry.

Hollywood Sign

Nothing’s more iconically Los Angeles than the Hollywood sign. Originally built to advertise a real estate complex in the area, the sign has endured for over 90 years.

Its massive 45 foot letters can be seen for miles and serves as a beacon of hope for those seeking fame and fortune in the City of Angels. While it’s not accessible to the public anymore, there are prime viewing areas off Mulholland Drive at the Griffith Park Observatory along with a few hiking trails that come relatively close to the sign itself.

Hollywood Bowl

Some of the most famous performers in the world have graced the stage of the Hollywood Bowl since its 1922 opening. As home to the Los Angeles Philharmonic, it’s one of the best places to see classical music in the city (in addition to the Walt Disney Concert Hall downtown).

However, as it’s the largest natural outdoor amphitheater in the country, the Hollywood Bowl also plays host to a spectacular summer concert series — featuring some of the best musical acts around — in addition to live scores of famous movies.

Best of all, the Bowl has a number of food and drink options and even encourages concertgoers to bring their own picnics.
