A Weekend in Los Angeles

Los Angeles is often known simply as L.A. and is currently the most populous city in Southern California. However, amidst the busy lifestyle of this place, it offers hundreds of attractions for tourists.

There is no single way to experience Los Angeles. This is why we have compiled a short list of tips and tricks to get the most of your time when visiting this magnificent city.

Visit the Metro and Wander

 Taking the public transportation is the easiest route to the metro and probably the best way to see a lot of attractions without worrying about traffic and parking. You can check out some sporting events or concert Staples Center or go for some games at Pasadena.  If you happen to visit Los Angeles on New Year, the Metro offers free rides between 9pm and 2am on New Years’ Eve.

Visit the World Class Museum for Free

There are many world class museums in Los Angeles that you can visit for free. Most of the museums like Getty Center and Getty Villa, and the California Science Center in Exposition Park offer free admissions at least one day a month.

Chance Upon Some TV Show Taping

Did you know that you can attend some of the popular TV show taping in Los Angeles? If you want to see how the taping usually goes in 2 Broke Girls or Jimmy Kimmer Live, you can actually search for free tickets online. Who knows you might catch a great deal and make one of your dreams come true.

Watch Free Concerts

You don’t have to spend a thousand dollar to watch concerts in Los Angeles. While some concerts can really be expensive, there are free concerts in the city that offer the same fun as Hollywood concerts like the KCRW Summer Nights series. It offers free outdoor music from Pasadena to the Pacific. Another is the Twilight Concert at the Santa Monica pier. Our group of friends and co-workers (from Chandler Painting Pros) voted this attraction as our favorite. Experiencing at least one of these concerts will give you a fun vibe that Los Angeles has to offer. Of course, don’t forget to take some photos of your great moments with local artists and musicians. Every memory in Los Angeles is definitely worth treasuring.

Treat Yourself with a Relaxing Spa

If you think Los Angeles is all about expensive hotels and resorts, you are completely wrong. In fact, you can actually treat your day a relaxing day at the spa without breaking your budget. Head to Koreatown and you will be met with a number of amazing spas. The Wi Spa, for example, offers hot baths, steam rooms, saunas, and pool for only $25. You can grab this chance to rejuvenate and detoxify yourself from the hustle bustle of the city.
