Things To Do, Sights to See
Universal Studios Hollywood
Always a fun time at Universal! Julius' favorite part is The Wizarding World of Harry Potter! Check out the newest part, Super Nintendo World and don't forget the studio tour!
Griffith Observatory
Sweeping views of Los Angeles and the Hollywood sign. There's an easy hike to take up the mountain for more views of the valley! Julius and Reina watched the sunrise here, New Year's Day of 2025.
Public Art "Urban Light"
Go at night and see the lights! This is where Julius first said "I love you" to Reina. <3
The Grove and The Original Farmers Market
Iconic outdoor mall with The Original Farmer's Market next door! This is where Julius and Reina first had a movie date and watched the live action Lilo & Stitch movie! Favorite things to do here is book browsing inside Barnes & Noble and eating a variety of food at the Farmer's Market!
Little Tokyo
Julius and Reina had their first date here! They also both love Japan so Little Tokyo is a special place for them! Conveyor belt sushi, ramen, cafes, gachapon and anime stores galore!
Koreatown
Julius' neck of the woods. Many-a-date had been had here. KBBQ and boba joints in every corner!
Downtown Los Angeles
If you want to experience city life in LA, head to Downtown LA! You can grab good quality apparel at the Fashion District for less and perhaps try unique foods at Grand Central Market! Julius loves taking pictures around here, especially at night with all the lights in the city. Reina loved checking out The Last Bookstore and The Los Angeles Central Library, being the bookworm that she is.
Santa Monica Pier
Go to Santa Monica to see the Pacific! Watch the sunset at the end of the pier for an awesome look at the horizon then enjoy street performers, play games and ride the iconic ferris wheel or even the roller coaster throughout the night! It's been Julius' dream to win his girl a prize at a carnival booth. Mission was accomplished at this very pier!
Disneyland Resort
People usually include Disneyland as part of their LA itinerary. Keep in mind though that it is in Anaheim, about a 1 hour drive from Downtown LA, 1.5 hours from the North Hollywood area. Besides driving there, Disneyland is always fun!
Beverly Hills
Really, people go here to walk along Rodeo Drive and window shop, take a photo at the iconic Beverly Hills sign and cruise along the neighborhood to check out the palm trees and expensive houses! Maybe spot a luxury car or a celebrity here and there.
Hollywood Walk of Fame
LA is the entertainment capital of the world! Hollywood Boulevard is lined with the stars of celebrities and their footprints and handprints can be found in front of the TCL Chinese Theater. It's a bit chaotic but if you haven't been here yet, it's worth visiting at least once when you're in LA!
