Spend the day exploring the various museums, shopping venues, restaurants, theaters, clubs, and so much more. You might even plan two days of your vacation to explore this area of town.
Those interested in art will want to include a visit to The Getty. Explore the museums, architecture, and gardens at two locations in the area.
