3 free things to do in LA 🌴

From visiting beaches to museums and breathtaking viewpoints, there is so much to do in LA. It could take you months to see all that Los Angeles has to offer but here are some you can't miss:

- Visit The Getty Center: the Getty is an LA staple, and has hundreds of paintings and sculptures displayed at the museum. The art represents pieces from the Middle Ages, and exceptional all around. Besides Mondays, the museum is open everyday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., so don’t forget to swing by during your visit to LA!

- LACMA: short for Los Angeles County Museum of Art, there’s so much unique work to see here. This Urban Light is made of 202 cast iron street lamps that date back to the 1920s and '30s that once lit the streets of LA. They symbolize a civilized and sophisticated city, as these solar-powered lights are switched on every night at dusk till 10pm.

- Hollywood Hike: you might’ve seen huge signs of the Hollywood sign in movies, and it is an LA staple that you don’t want to miss. From a handful of trails to follow, spend a couple of hours viewing the California mountains, and spending some time in the outdoors.

... Read moreLos Angeles is a sprawling city known for its entertainment, culture, and scenic vistas. In addition to the three free activities mentioned, there are countless other options to immerse yourself in the local lifestyle. Consider embarking on a visit to Griffith Park, where you can enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, horseback riding, and picnicking, all while marveling at stunning views of the city skyline. Another great free experience is visiting the Santa Monica Pier, combining the fun of local street performers, vibrant markets, and the beautiful ocean. Perfect for a leisurely day, you can stroll along the beach, enjoy the sunset, and soak in the lively atmosphere. Museums like the Getty Villa, which showcases ancient Greek art and culture--also free to the public--are worthwhile stops for a more enriching experience. For a taste of LA's vibrant community, don’t miss local flea markets or food festivals that frequently take place throughout the year. They can provide an excellent opportunity to discover local crafts and culinary delights without a hefty price tag. Whether you're a tourist or a local, appreciating the free offerings of Los Angeles enhances your experience and connects you with the heart of this iconic city.
