A Day in LA: From the Hollywood Sign to Venice Beach, In-N-Out, and UCLA
A day in Los Angeles was filled with iconic sights, local flavors, and youthful energy.
Hollywood Sign
Early in the morning, I hiked up the trails of Griffith Park to see the Hollywood Sign up close. This iconic landmark was first erected in 1923 and has since become a cultural symbol of Los Angeles.
Venice Beach
Next, I headed to Venice Beach. The 2-mile boardwalk was bustling with street performers, artists, and shops, creating a lively atmosphere. At Muscle Beach, I watched people working out, and at the Venice Art Walls, I admired the diverse graffiti art.
In-N-Out Burger
For lunch, I stopped by the beloved In-N-Out Burger, particularly the Gayley Avenue location near UCLA, which was packed with students and visitors. The Double-Double burger made with fresh ingredients, crispy French fries, and a refreshing shake made for the best meal of the trip.
UCLA Campus
After lunch, I strolled through the UCLA campus. This prestigious university is known for its stunning architecture, expansive lawns, and vibrant atmosphere. Royce Hall and Powell Library, in particular, are iconic buildings that leave a lasting impression on visitors.
