20 Things to do in Los Angeles
Video Overview & Insights
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 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
@marcoslnobregaTry Big Dume beach in Malibu. Thank me Later😉
@ralphiel5166Has anyone tried all 20 of these things? If you had to recommend just one, which would it be and why?
@lotustravel66so many gta5 locations !
@billyy777You 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
@Wolfpup748My favourite place when i visited LA was Santa Monica, that City is pretty cool
@Kattia.FlorezThank you for this video, I plan on moving to LA soon but wanted to know about the spots out there.
@TaylortheangelCan anyone tell me good hotels or motels in LA. I am planning to travel in next few months with my family. Thanks
@Canucks_swaggo to Baldwin Hills next time... rich black folks
@ThePrinceOfTheTalkboxThe Comedy Store is my #1 destination. My daughter lives in Westwood and goes there all the time. In the middle of the week, you can see comics like Dave Chappelle, Bill Burr etc just showing up and doing sets mere feet in front of you... as opposed to being little dots in a stadium elsewhere in the country.
@paullebon323Echo Park was a Mexican neighborhood that had been ruthlessly ethnically cleansed.
@paullebon323Rather visit Los Angeles and have fun around the city
@zodiacmartnio7256You are no longer allowed to go inside the stadium thru the gift store. Today (3-26-24) we actually got access through the gift store and set down for lunch. Midway thru our lunch, we were told that access inside is not allowed anymore unless you are on a tour. We were allowed to finish our lunch, however they closed off the gift store exit and monitored us until we finished eating and left. We were welcomed to come back for a tour. There are a couple of tables outside the gift store and stadium where you can eat lunch.
@SharonBoyd-lb1odFrom Holland as Turkish my dream to go Here Because i know it so Well from GTA5❤
@Fenerbahceli-uk5udI wish these videos would stop recommending places like Venice Beach just because it used to be "iconic" once upon a time. Venice Beach nowadays is a place that stinks like urine any part you go and street husslers get quiet grabby and harass you even if you don't even make eye contact. It's soooo uncomfortable. Stay away from Venice Beach it's not worth your time anymore.
@lohymloloWhy is LA so popular? It's a trashcan
@BrianLarinAbsolutely love your list of '20 Things to do in Los Angeles'! Such a diverse range of activities to explore. I'd like to suggest adding Quantum Clinic to the list - it's a fantastic spa clinic that offers a rejuvenating experience for both the mind and body. A perfect spot to unwind and add a touch of serenity to your LA adventure. Highly recommended for those seeking relaxation and wellness amid the city's vibrant energy.
@Rebecca-Williams_Loved it. ❤
@YolduranduranIts 2023 so any new suggestions? Planning to visit LA soon. Also best places to spots celebs?😅
@varunnarayanan8720♥️♥️👍👍👍 ⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐

@Sereen235Hi, I work for South Korean broadcast company tvN. we would like to use your video on our history show.
I'd like to use it to introduce local travel destinations related to the topic.
I want to use it in 30 seconds. Could you please let me know if we could use an excerpt from it giving the credit to your channel?
Thanks :)
Number 1 don’t go
@ussr8337I’ve lived in Los Angeles all my life and I gotta say. I have never wanted to go out and explore these places in LA.
I’ve never realized how many famous land marks we had here. But I have been to some of these places.
But now I would one day like to go to these places.
جميلة ومميزة كنها مرسومت من الخيال
