1, 2 & 3 Day Los Angeles Itineraries
Geography-aware sample routes built around Griffith Park, the Warner Bros./Hollywood Boulevard corridor, and Universal City, with an integrated Google Maps route for each day.
Day 1: Hollywood Sign & Griffith Observatory
The Original Hollywood Sign Walking Tour, Los Angeles, CA
Start with a guided 90-minute walk to a classic Hollywood Sign viewpoint (Bikes and Hikes LA). There's no public access point to the sign itself — every tour, this one included, only reaches a viewpoint.
Griffith Observatory, Los Angeles, CA
Drive over to Griffith Observatory for the afternoon and stay through sunset. General admission to the building and grounds is completely free — no ticket, no reservation. If you want the Samuel Oschin Planetarium show, buy that ticket in person the same day; it's box-office-only, with no online or phone sales.
💡 Practical Tips & Recommendations
- • Griffith Observatory is free to enter — don't let any pass or ticket seller convince you otherwise; the only paid product there is the separate planetarium show.
- • The Observatory is closed Mondays; check the day of your visit before you plan around it.
