The Observatory originally opened to the public in 1935, and was reopened in 2006 after renovations. It's a great place to take in the view or snap a photo in front of the Hollywood sign.
Amazing! Great views, fab building and loads of interesting stuff inside. Worth a visit
The views are great and the exhibits are awesome. Free too!
The views are great the garden is an excellent place to hang out and you have wifi and can work from here while people spotting
The views, the architecture, the light, you will forget that you wanted to see the exhibitions!
Great, easy stop for tourists or locals. A really unique and clear view of the city plus cool art inside.
Their sangria is nice and so is this shrimp scampi. Love the view!
Loved the food, the view, the atmosphere, really nice bartenders.. Good way to start a lovely day downtown! Go for the charcuterie plate and mixed fruit!
strenuous hiking, great views, and the dog can be off-leash!
Me and my dog love this park. It's clean (despite what other posts say), great views and a great work out. I always bring my dog, so have not hit the free yoga class yet, but that is next on my list
Excellent workouts n great views!!! Don't go on windy day!!! We had sand everywhere!
Wonderful food, great ambiance, and even greater city views. Worth checking out.
The best view in Los Angeles! Great food and drinks too! I took my boyfriend here for his birthday, it turned out even better than I had planned. I highly recommend going here :)
Great Japanese food, with an awesome Hollywood view. It's expensive and hard to get to - since it's located near the Hollywood Bowl. Try the Darth Vader roll.
Order the Brasil Basil Smash! It's off the hook! Then kick back and enjoy the wicked views!!
Best view in LA, hands down. Also one of the best Sunday brunch buffets around.
Gorgeous city view, great off-the-menu cocktails.
There's a great hike for out-of-town visitors. Starts near merry-go-round. 360 views of LA and Valley from the top, plus great views of Hollywood sign. But beware...a long uphill!
Come at sunset for great views of city. Go up the exterior stairs of the building to get to the roof.
Great trials to hike/run, 3 different golf courses, and beautiful scenery. Depending on where u go, the park isn't crowded
Stairs are intense....but the view from the top is awesome!
This the best workout and the view is awsome! <3
Great workout! 270 big stairs up. About 10-15 to the top. Wonderful view!! Popular spot but not congested!
It's a great place to take your dog for a walk. Beautiful views and nice people (usually).
Features some of the city’s most magnificent sunsets & ocean views. It’s one of the city’s oldest parks! A jogging and biking path runs along steep cliffs overlooking the Pacific.
Scenic ocean views, great spot for a walk or picnic - feels a world away from LA's urban landscapes...
Chips so good. Drinks too. View is the best - go to watch the sunset. Also has live jazz!
Right next to Shutters. Love the bar and sitting area. Best place to grab a drink and watch the sunset over Santa Monica.
Live jazz during happy hour. Incredible sunset views and super nice staff. Pricey but a 'Must Go', if in the area.
Walk to Venice from here and walk back. You'll have a awesome time just people watching and enjoying the beach view. Smile and say hi to everyone and the merchants will give you a discount
Santa monica is the best place to stay in LA , the beach is clean and the pier have many options to the kids to play or eat , and the views is fantastic
Beautiful scenery, generally very clean, toilets and an easy walk from parking near Third Street or off the PCH.
Plenty of galleries and restrooms in each building . Don't forget to check out the gardens and amazing views of west Los Angeles.
Go for the art, stay for the sunset!!! Amazing, panoramic views plus you get to see the city lights light up as it gets dark.
Arrive early to make it through the museum without missing anything. The views from the terraces and the gardens are amazing.
If you want to get a great workout while taking in breathtaking views of Downtown LA, this is the spot for you.
Gorgeous views along w/ a great workout! Less people than at Runyon Canyon. Wear running shoes, trails can be slippery. Next to the zoo & golf course so it's a perfect spot for the whole family!
Such a good hike!! Once you get to the top, the view of the city is amazing. You can see the Hollywood sign as well
Great views and a great workout; do it at your own pace. I recommend taking water & a scarf or napkin to cover your nose & mouth when dust whirlwinds hit you.
I like going the counter-clockwise direction from Fuller. After summitting I prefer the long consistent descent. The views from the mansion at top are also best from this direction, IMO.
Some of the best views in the city for hiking
If you have an open mind about weird people, the people watching doesn't get much better. Great beach. Walk/bike the boardwalk and get some craft beers at Venice Ale House for sunset.
It's a good place and all, but not the greatest place to be at night and all. The beach is awesome and the sunset is beautiful
Great place to see the bizarre and beautiful in people. Sunsets are on point and the vibe is lovely.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
