Planning your trip to Los Angeles
Best time to visit
The weather is mild most of the year. Late spring can bring a gray morning layer along the coast, and spring and autumn are often ideal. Summers are warm and inland areas can be hot.
How many days you need
Four to five days lets you see a few very different areas, such as the beaches, the hills and downtown, since the city is spread out. Plan by area, not by trying to cross the city each day.
Getting around
A car or rideshares are the norm because distances are large and public transit is limited. Traffic can be heavy at rush hour, so build in extra time and avoid crossing the city at peak times.
What to skip
The busiest stretch of Hollywood Boulevard is crowded with costumed characters and touts. See the sights briefly and spend more time at the beaches, viewpoints and neighborhoods.
