Los Angeles is a big city, so explore it all in few days is almost impossible, but I made this guide to help you do the most of your trip and do not miss the iconic spots in Los Angeles!
· Use Uber Pool. It’s huge and with low rides.
· Public service is also another good option, but don’t lose your card, you have to pay $1 each and every time you want to purchase a ride.
· There’s traffic, so don’t rent a car. You’ll regret it, plus parking can be super expensive and hard to find.
Thank God summer in LA is endless, so expect a warm weather most of the time, if you’re visiting during America winter time, it can be chilly at nights.
I highly recommend rent a bike for one day to explore around, it is such a great experience and a good way to keep you moving.
