    Been to LA about 8 times and it’s a fantastic city. Like any place it has it’s bad sides but it has so much to offer and do. Probably for most tourists it’s biggest drawback is how vast and spread out It is when you include the greater LA area. Definitely need access to a car to truly enjoy.

      please do come to LA. There's a ton of amazing things to do here - including totally free ones like becoming a part of TV show audiences (for Jimmy Kimmel and the kind), and even watching movies that will be released 6-12 months from now - without paying a cent for it :)

    This video is gorgeous exactly like you are ☺️☺️ May I add two places that as a tourist I might say… must ?
    1) The Bowl. You can book a concert at the bowl via their app. and have a picnic before the concert bringing food from home ( wine as well ) or buy it over there.
    2) Huntington library and gardens at Pasadena. Beautiful collection of books and amazing gardens. Very nice restaurant to have lunch out door

      Make sure you get a car. If you want the best Mexican food in LA go to El Tepeyac in East LA. There is nothing to see around it and it’s in the hood but everyone goes there because the food is soooo good.

    Hi Michael! Great videos as usual! Having been to LA for 3 weeks, and back in the last few weeks I can say my favorite part is West Hollywood. For a low budget tourist, with no car, LA is not the friendliest city. I'm an expert on public transportation, though :P My only recommendation is to only plan an hour at the most for Hollywood Boulevard. And specially don't go there at night unless you have a car. Thanks for the video!

    On my first vacation to LA back in the late 90's, I ran into a lot of celebrities. I was on the Hollywood walk of Fame when they presented Drew Carey a star. I had pictures taking with Drew Carey, Jennifer Tilly and other famous people attending. Next I walked about few hundred feet, and came across Alec Baldwin. He was filming the movie Providence at the Guinness Book of record attraction. After the Hollywood area we head down to the 3rd street Promenade in Santa Monica. There was some kind of martial artist exhibition hosted by Robin Shou, the actor who played Liu Kang on Mortal Kombat. We took picture with him and was invited to his movie premiere. We then went down to the beach. Walking between Santa Monica and Venice beach, we came across another filming. They had plywood panels laid out over sand and Rob Lowe was right in front of us smoking a cigarette. Didn't want to bother him so we just walked by him. The whole cast of the West wing was filming right on the beach. All this celebrities sighting was within 2 hours. Back then we thought movie stars were every where in LA. We now live in LA and haven't seen any since that day. All we see now are tourist and homeless people

    @ThePixiey 2 роки тому +13

    This is going to sound so tacky lol, but I honestly thought it was just another travel guide video at first and I was in tears by the end of it haha! I've always had mixed feelings about LA - been there a few times and going again soon and it is definitely not what Hollywood movies have made it out to be (especially here in Europe where I'm from). So seeing the famous Walk of Fame in real life was a disappointment to say the least. And the homelessness crisis is even more heartbreaking to witness in person!
    However, LA has so much charm and hidden gems and you really showed the best of it all. That combined with the background music, beautiful shots and your genuine love for the city made me so sentimental for a place that has never been my home but a place I am now super excited to return to again soon!! Thank youuu
