Los Angeles is a massive city with so much to see as a tourist or visitor. I wanted to make this video to spotlight the LA area and to share some of the best spots to explore if you visit. I spent a lot of time researching and getting content for this video, so I hope it provides a good understanding of the city and helps you get out and explore LA in the new year. Let me know what I left off in the comments.

I miss living in LA. This where I was born and raised. Pasadena specifically! ❤
Dude Langer's soooooo good, a bit expensive, but definitely worth it.

The Peterson Museum, USS Iowa & Farmers Market on Fairfax. We go there every time we are in L.A.
Some of these thing were lost in the fire😢
Can you tell me where not to go? 😊 I’m going with my kids for a trip through NP and we are flying back from LAX so we want to see LA but I’m a little bit scared after some stories about whats happening in LA

Old Town Pasadena, The Huntington Library, Art Museum and Gardens, The Grove and Original Farmers Market are missing. They are definitely must dos in LA.
I luv it rather visit Los Angeles one day
I recall stopping at the LAX in n out on my way to visit a friend in Germany and I have to say the staff are the nicest and there was even one who stopped to help me when I dropped my suitcases😭🙏 Fair warning though: there are A L O T Of travelers/suitcases in a tiny space with little seating.
thanks
Try Big Dume beach in Malibu. Thank me Later😉
Has anyone tried all 20 of these things? If you had to recommend just one, which would it be and why?
so many gta5 locations !
You forgot Six Flags Magic Mountain it’s one of the most popular tourist attractions in the LA area and I highly disagree with you with that statement that Universal Studios is LA’s main amusement park
