Serious music fans can spend an entire day here without exhausting its catalogue or atmosphere.
Attraction

Crypto.com Arena — the building still famous as Staples Center — is the world's most storied multi-sport venue, having hosted Lakers, Clippers, Kings, and Sparks championships alongside some of the greatest concerts in history.

Home to the Lakers, Clippers, Kings, and Sparks, Crypto.com Arena (formerly Staples Center) is one of the most iconic multi-sport venues in North America. Fans can see the championship banners, legendary statues of Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shaquille O'Neal, and Wayne Gretzky outside, and experience game-day atmosphere in the heart of LA Live.
Attraction
Dodger Stadium Tour
Dodger Stadium is baseball's third-oldest park and one of its most beautiful, nestled in the hills of Chavez Ravine with mountain views beyond the outfield that remain breathtaking after more than six decades. Behind-the-scenes tours cover the dugout, the clubhouse, and the iconic press box where Vin Scully once called games for generations of fans. A Dodgers game at dusk, with the San Gabriel Mountains turning pink in the distance, is one of baseball's most cinematic experiences.
Attraction
Greek Theatre Los Angeles
Nestled within Griffith Park, the Greek Theatre offers one of Los Angeles's most beautiful and intimate outdoor concert experiences, with the surrounding oak trees and hillside setting creating an amphitheatre that feels genuinely ancient even though it dates from 1930. Artists who play the Greek consistently perform some of their most intimate and emotionally open shows, responding to the venue's natural warmth and organic beauty. Arriving on foot through Griffith Park for an evening show is one of LA's great fan rituals.
Attraction
Griffith Observatory
LA's most iconic free attraction on the slopes of Mount Hollywood with planetarium shows, telescopes, and the most photographed view of the Hollywood sign and city skyline.
Attraction
Hollywood Bowl
The Hollywood Bowl is America's most iconic outdoor amphitheatre, where the distinctive shell stage against a backdrop of the Hollywood Hills has framed legendary performances for a century of passionate Los Angeles music fans. The tradition of bringing picnics and wine to spread before the show in the terraced seats is one of American concert culture's most civilised and beloved rituals. From the LA Philharmonic to Radiohead, no venue in America accommodates as wide a range of musical excellence as the Bowl.
Attraction
Kia Forum
The Fabulous Forum in Inglewood is one of rock and roll's most legendary venues, where artists from Led Zeppelin to Prince to The Rolling Stones have delivered performances that fans still discuss decades later. The circular arena's architecture creates an intimate atmosphere for a 17,000-capacity venue, and the mid-century design has been beautifully restored to its original glamour. Attending a show at the Forum connects fans to the unbroken thread of great American concert history stretching back fifty years.
Attraction
Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Tour
Tour the only stadium to host two Olympic Games (1932 and 1984) and soon to host a third in 2028. The LA Coliseum has been home to the USC Trojans, the Rams, and countless historic sporting moments. Guided tours cover the Peristyle end, press box, field level, and the Court of Honor.
Attraction
SoFi Stadium
The most expensive stadium ever built is a marvel of entertainment engineering designed to deliver the world's most premium live event experience, with its roof, shade canopy, and 70,000-capacity making it the centrepiece of Los Angeles's bid to host the 2028 Olympics and 2026 World Cup. Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and other global megastars have described SoFi as the most technically capable stadium they've ever performed in. The surrounding Hollywood Park development creates a complete fan campus that makes arriving for any event a multi-hour experience in itself.
Things to Do
SoFi Stadium Fan Walk & Hollywood Park
The Hollywood Park entertainment district surrounding SoFi Stadium is one of the great pre-game destinations in American sports — acres of bars, restaurants, retail, and the spectacular YouTube Theater encircling the most technologically advanced NFL stadium ever built. The fan walk from parking to the gates on a Sunday afternoon, with 70,000 Rams or Chargers fans streaming through, is a spectacle in its own right. The outdoor terraces and fire pits make the pre-game ritual match the grandeur of the game itself.
Attraction
SoFi Stadium Tour
SoFi Stadium in Inglewood is one of the most technologically advanced sports venues ever built, featuring a translucent roof, a massive double-sided video board, and a design that incorporates outdoor breezes even while remaining covered. Tours explore the field, premium clubs, and the technology infrastructure that has made it a Super Bowl staple. The Hollywood Park entertainment complex surrounding the stadium has created one of the country's most compelling sports districts.
Things to Do
Venice Beach Boardwalk
Walk LA's most eclectic beachfront past Muscle Beach, street performers, skateboarders, the basketball courts, and the Venice canals — the quintessential LA experience.
Things to Do
Box subscribers pre-order Suzanne Goin 'Supper in Your Seats'
Box-seat ticket holders can pre-order Suzanne Goin summer-supper meals (with Caroline Styne wine pairings) delivered straight to their box. Each Bowl box has a wine-bottle holder, and boxes themselves are treated like family heirlooms passed down across generations of LA Phil subscribers.
Things to Do
BYOB only on LA Phil-presented nights, not lease events
You can bring wine and beer (glass bottles allowed) into the Bowl, but only for LA Phil-presented events; lease events (most pop/rock concerts) are no-alcohol-BYO. No kegs or hard liquor either way. Coolers and baskets must measure under 15 by 15 by 22 inches and fit under your seat or inside your box.
Things to Do
Pre-show picnicking is the defining LA rite
Picnicking at the Bowl is decades-old LA tradition: 14 designated picnic areas open as early as four hours before showtime, and Bowl regulars arrive with blankets, full meals, and wine glasses. Time Out LA calls it an LA rite of passage; philanthropist Dorothy Chandler is credited with turning Bowl picnicking into a high-status candelabra-and-silver affair generations ago.
Things to Do
Rent a $1 seat cushion (or BYO)
Most Bowl seats (sections E through X2) are wooden benches with backs, and cushion rentals at the gate (typically a few dollars) are a longstanding part of the ritual; they often run out, so regulars BYO or arrive early. American Express cardholders can get a complimentary cushion at guest services with a valid card.
Things to Do
Skip Highland Avenue: use Park & Ride or the Ovation Hollywood shuttle
Bowl parking is stacked, meaning you can be boxed in for 30-60 minutes after the show. The Park & Ride bus network serves multiple LA lots, and the Ovation Hollywood Shuttle (Line 671) runs every 15-20 minutes from a $25/day garage at 1736 N Orange Dr starting 2.5 hours before the show, with return buses ~20 minutes after concert end.
