Be sure to also spend a day at Universal Studios and enjoy many fun-filled activities, such as exploring real-life movie sets and going on numerous rides.

    Southwest of the city is the renowned neighbourhood of Venice Beach, which boasts boutique shops, vibrant murals, and a vast array of restaurants serving up top-quality seafood dishes. Further down the coastline, you will find Santa Monica and Malibu, where you can go whale-watching, hiking, and wine tasting at one of the many wine bars in the area.
