30 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.

Griffith Observatory and Diorama-museum of Bhagavad-gita will appeal to museum buffs. Escape the urban bustle at Venice Beach and Boardwalk and Santa Monica Bay. Explore Los Angeles' surroundings by going to Newport Beach (Marina Park & Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve), Beverly Hills (Rodeo Drive & Mulholland Drive) and Corona del Mar (Little Corona Beach & Sherman Library & Gardens). Pack the 21st (Mon) with family-friendly diversions at Universal Studios Hollywood. There's still lots to do: see the interesting displays at The Getty Center, shop like a local with Third Street Promenade, take in the exciting artwork at Annenberg Community Beach House, and get up close to creatures of the deep with a dolphin and whale watching tour.
