Explore Los Angeles
When you choose Los Angeles International Airport as your jumping off point for your Los Angeles area adventure, you might find it difficult to choose where to begin. Do you head straight to the Hollywood Sign on Mount Lee? The Hollywood Walk of Fame? A drive through Topanga Canyon? A studio tour? The Sunset Strip? The hustle and bustle of the Entertainment Capital of the World may feel as overwhelming as sitting in L.A. traffic, but the sparkle of Tinseltown is waiting to wow you.
If you love the great outdoors, you can enjoy both sightseeing and hiking with a visit to Griffith Park. The Hollywood Sign and the Griffith Observatory are both in the park, of course, but there are several areas for outdoor activities as well. Golf courses, tennis courts, hiking trails, and opportunities for horse or pony rides are all available—something for every kind of visitor. Shutterbugs may find themselves drawn to pinpointing locations throughout the park that they recognize from movies and TV; the park’s location makes it a popular location for shoots.
