Here are once-in-a-lifetime things to do in Los Angeles that you can’t experience anywhere else in the world.
Rent A Car and Ride Up Pacific Coast Highway

Experience the sign up close by hiking it with routes that rank from easy to difficult. Authorized hiking trails are open the same hours as Griffith Park all day yearround

Visit Disneyland
You can find Disney products and Disney’s influence all over the globe, but there are only six resorts worldwide. Located in Anaheim, about an hour south of Los Angeles, is Disneyland. This is the first theme park opened by The Walt Disney Company, and the only one designed and constructed under the direct supervision of Walt Disney.
Disneyland is smaller than Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, but don’t let its size deter you from making the trip. It has attractions the resort in Orlando doesn’t have, including Avengers Camp, Cars Land, Matterhorn Bobsleds, Pixar Pal-A-Round and It’s a Small World. Disneyland is also the only Disney Park to feature New Orleans Square, which pays homage to one of the places Walt Disney loved the most.
Take Pictures At Homes From Popular TV Shows
HBO Insecure fans, this one is for you! You can visit Issa and Lawrence’s first apartment on the show in Los Angeles. Plug in The Dunes, located at 709 N Inglewood Ave in Inglewood, and visit the iconic filming location.
Other homes you can find in Los Angeles, include the Thriller House from Michael Jackson’s video. You can find it near Dodger Stadium. The Thompson home from the 1984 film “A Nightmare on Elm Street” is located in Hollywood at 1428 Genessee Avenue.

Rollerblade On Venice Beach
A trip to Los Angeles is not complete without visiting Venice Beach. The beach is both famous and popular, as it is situated in an iconic part of town. Venice Beach’s boardwalk, or the Ocean Front Walk, has murals and physical activities, such as rollerblading. You can rent a pair of your own or simply people-watch and live vicariously through those who are doing it.
