7 days in Los Angeles Itinerary

Surrounded by mountain ranges, forests, valleys, beaches, and deserts, the metropolitan area of Los Angeles is home to over 17 million people.

You'll get in some beach time at Venice Beach and Boardwalk and Santa Monica Bay. Shop till you drop at Hammer Museum and Amoeba Music. There's still lots to do: get in on the family fun at Universal Studios Hollywood, look for all kinds of wild species at Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area, get engrossed in the history at Autry Museum of the American West, and wander the streets of Abbot Kinney Boulevard.
