Don't go if you don't drive. Visiting LA without a car would be just a frustrating experience.
- Getty (plan at least a few hours)
- The Broad
- Arcana: Books on the Arts
- Traktir Restaurant for Eastern Europenian Food
- Asanebo (Japanese, Michelin guide)
- Millie's Cafe
- Langer's Delicatessen
- Stereoscope Coffee
- Dinosaur Coffee
LA is surronded by hills. My favourite activity was to drive around and find a nice spot to watch a sunset.
- Angels Point
- Griffith Observatory
- Echo park / Silver lake - instead of Airbnb, try to find a weekly rental on Craigslist.
