Chroniken von Los Angeles

Los Angeles was founded in 1781 by Spanish governor Felipe de Neve, who named it 'El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles'. Over the years, LA has transformed from a small pueblo to a thriving metropolis, with the construction of the Los Angeles Aqueduct in 1913 bringing water and growth to the region. The city's architectural landscape has been shaped by the Art Deco style of the 1920s and 1930s, as seen in iconic landmarks like the Eastern Columbia Building and the Bullocks Wilshire. Today, LA is a melting pot of cultures, with a thriving arts and cultural scene, from the Getty Center to the Venice Beach Boardwalk.

Top-Attraktionen in Los Angeles

Hollywood Walk of Fame Free

💡 Skip the overpriced tour buses—just walk the section between Highland and La Brea. The stars for less hyped names like music producers are often cleaner and less crowded.

Griffith Observatory Free

💡 Parking fills up by mid-morning. Instead, take the DASH Observatory shuttle from the Sunset/Vermont Metro station—it costs 50 cents and runs every 20 minutes.

Getty Center Free

💡 Parking is £15 per car, but you can dodge it by taking the Metro Bus 234 from Westwood and walking up the hill for free entry—just check the bus schedule first.

Venice Beach Boardwalk Free

💡 Come on weekends for the best street performers and the Venice Beach Art Walls (free graffiti gallery). Bring cash for cheap tacos from stands on Rose Avenue—much cheaper than the overpriced boardwalk eateries.

Hollywood Boulevard Free
Santa Monica Pier Free
Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)

💡 Free admission happens after 3pm on weekdays if you're a California resident with ID. Non-residents can get a discount by entering the museum's free outdoor spaces first, then buying a timed ticket online—saves queuing.
