My personal suggestion is to arrive one night before, have a good night sleep, wake up fresh and get ready to enjoy the day ahead.
Now you are ready to head out to enjoy a list of incredible things throughout the city.
Lets begin with the first activity of the day:
You have an option to chose from three trails to the Hollywood sign. Once you reach the sign, you’ll have stunning views of Los Angeles.
The total hike is around 3 miles with only an elevation gain of 500 feet. Make sure your backpack has water, sunscreen, a cap or umbrella, trekking stick as well as few energy bars.
After this, head over to the Venice Beach to relax on the beach. This beachtown is a must see for LA and you must not miss this.
Take a stroll along the broadwalk on the beach, enjoy different restaurants, street performers, relaxing spas, enthusiastic skaters and other tourists roaming around.
While you walk across the beach, head towards the Venice canals to experience the beauty of Venice, Italy while being in California.
After the Venice Beach drive for 15 minutes to reach the Santa Monica Pier.
