We highly recommend taking a trip to the Santa Monica Pier if you've never been! It's definitely a cultural experience in Los Angeles/Santa Monica - you'll see all sorts of street performers, and you can ride the rides in Pacific Park!
Another cultural landmark, the Getty itself is stunning, and has gorgeous views of greater Los Angeles. Visiting the Getty is free; you just need to get there or pay for parking.
Stop by the beach if you have the time!
Tons of shopping and food options, as well as great people watching and street performers.
This one might be on the farther side for some, but if you want the best Nashville hot chicken of your life, Howlin' Rays is worth the trip! It's one of our favorites, and we go whenever we can!
Sawtelle has all sorts of delicious Asian cuisine - ramen, boba tea, pastries, you name it!
Make a quick stop at the historic Venice Canals, and then head to Venice Beach!
Make a trip to Katie's alma mater to check out the beautiful campus. Bonus points if you can name films and tv shows you recognize being filmed there!
We love Griffith! We had our first Valentine's date, and did our engagement photoshoot there - we cannot recommend it enough for the amazing views of LA and art deco style.
