What to see in Los Angeles

1. Griffith Observatory
   Perched in Griffith Park above Los Angeles, the observatory looks out over the basin, from downtown to the ocean on a clear day, with the Hollywood sign just below.
2. Santa Monica Pier
   Santa Monica Pier is one of the few piers in California where you can still stroll between historic carousel horses and classic amusement rides with the Pacific right beside you.
3. Getty Center
   The campus sits on a hill in Brentwood, and Richard Meier's building in pale travertine keeps changing with the Southern California light.
4. Hollywood Walk of Fame
   An open-air walkway where you literally walk over the names of film, music, television and live performance.
5. Venice Beach
   The seafront gives a fair picture of Los Angeles at its most lively: musicians, skaters, sand artists, street vendors and regulars training outdoors all share a few hundred metres of boardwalk.
6. Universal Studios Hollywood
   The park sits right beside working film and television studios, and the Studio Tour takes you past sets from famous movies and series.
7. LACMA
   LACMA is the county's main art museum, set in the Miracle Mile district, where its buildings line Wilshire Boulevard.
8. Grand Central Market
   Open since 1917, this covered market in downtown Los Angeles remains a lively place where regulars, neighborhood workers and visitors cross paths.
