Olvera Street – the birthplace of LA, and a traditional Mexican market + historic sites
Little Tokyo – a slice of Japan in downtown LA (with so much good food)
Chinatown – traditional architecture, lots of restaurants, shops, galleries, and markets
Greystone Mansion – this free spot in Beverly Hills has been the set for countless movies and shows and also has a crazy Hollywood-esque story behind it
Venice Canals – Built in the early 1900s by Venice’s founder to emulate Italy
