3 Top Things to Do in Los Angeles

Los Angeles is big, spread out, and kind of overwhelming. But it’s also iconic, weirdly beautiful, and full of once-in-a-lifetime experiences... if you know where to look.

Whether it’s your first time or your fifth, these are the essential things to do in LA, the ones that actually live up to the hype.

1. Spend a Day at Universal Studios Hollywood

Theme park meets real film studio. You can ride roller coasters, go behind the scenes of famous sets, and walk through worlds like Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, and The Simpsons. It’s fun for everyone, even if you’re not traveling with kids.

2. Take a Private Tour of Hollywood

Hollywood Boulevard can be chaotic. The best way to experience it? Let someone else drive.

With a private tour, you’ll get a tailored look at landmarks like the Hollywood Sign, celebrity homes, Mulholland Drive, and the Walk of Fame, without trying to figure out parking.

3. Visit Warner Bros. Studios

This has been one of my favourite tours ever made in the USA! If you’re into movies and TV (or just love Friends, Harry Potter, or DC), this one’s for you. The Warner Bros. Studio Tour is a deep dive into how Hollywood works. See real sets, soundstages, and props from iconic productions — plus a chance to sit on the Friends couch or explore the Batcave.
