In LA you can follow the glitz and glamour – places where A-listers, reality show stars and movie stars, past and present, live, work and shop. Or, you can spend 3 days in LA using your GoCard to explore another side – interesting neighborhoods, wonderful museums, aquariums, botanical gardens, and exciting whale sightings. As you go from one GoCard attraction to another, forego Rodeo Drive boutiques and pricey, fancy lunches. Instead, browse through eclectic flea markets, sample tasty food truck fare, stroll through old-fashioned beach piers from another era.

Outdoor activities are part of the LA experience. Year-round gorgeous weather and beautiful, dramatic scenery make being outdoors a must. It’s easy to do. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes and know where to go.  With so many bests, picking out activites to do depends on time and interest.  Given the vastness of the area, plan on taking day trips.
