This wasn't at the top of my to-see list, but it was actually very impressive. Loved the beautiful observatory, the breathtaking views of the city and mountains,, and the planetarium show.
The views are great and the exhibits are awesome. Free too!
A great place to go, and an amazing view, one of the best observatories I've been
The outdoor gardens and the views are fantastic, but do spend time with the amazing indoor offerings: incredible European art, from Van Gogh to Titian.
Breathtaking views, romantic gardens and patios, plenty of picnic lawn and table spaces ... Pack a snack and come up in the later afternoon to watch the sunset.
Great, easy stop for tourists or locals. A really unique and clear view of the city plus cool art inside.
Amazing view of the city and solid pours at the bar. Recommended
During the summer they have live music...and great views. Jazz, wine & amazing views...what are you waiting for?
Amazing view of Pershing square and live music on the heated patio. Get there early for a seat!
Great hike with amazing views of beautiful Los Angeles. Run as much as you can for an awesome workout.
my favorite place to hang out! the 360° view from the Mulholland entrance! U will never 4get that view!
There is always a great chance you will see a celebrity hiking it, great views from the top, a hidden tennis court and plenty of great looking people...definitely a fun fun hike Read more.
Order the Brasil Basil Smash! It's off the hook! Then kick back and enjoy the wicked views!!
One of the best spots in LA. Great views and good drinks, oh and the photo-booth is fun!
Gorgeous city view, great off-the-menu cocktails.
Gorgeous view overlooking Hollywood. Old mansion turned into a restaurant. Love the Darth Vader roll.
The best view in Los Angeles! Great food and drinks too! I took my boyfriend here for his birthday, it turned out even better than I had planned. I highly recommend going here :)
Great view, great food, great prices. Hit the Pagoda Bar and check out the garden area. Farmer's Market 5pm-9pm on Thursdays. Lamb & Maine Lobster were succulent^2
Amazing views. Perfect rooftop bar with stiff solid drinks.
Bar snack food. No dessert! Moderate prices. Great cocktails, beer & wine. The best service comes to the most reasonable people. View is always fantastic!
Best views of LA in Santa Monica. Sit at the bar, order one of their yummy cocktails and bar food. Nothing we ate or drank was bad :)
Kate at the bar is the best!! Great views. Great night spot. Also great for brunch! Benedict, aperol smash, any flatbread, breakfast burger, kogi sliders, viet stk sandwich... Too many to name!
Beautiful view of the city, garden is absolutely breathtaking. Bring a picnic basket and a blanket and enjoy life.
Beautiful gardens and views of Los Angeles. The art exhibits aren't the most fascinating, though.
Excellent views over LA, wide selection of artwork, and great contemporary architecture. Check out the free art and architecture tours.
Beautiful 360* view of L.A. at the top of the stairs. Climb those stairs, your buns will thank you. Also, watch out for snakes!!
This the best workout and the view is awsome! <3
Great workout! 270 big stairs up. About 10-15 to the top. Wonderful view!! Popular spot but not congested!
Beautiful views and plenty of trails.
Gorgeous views along w/ a great workout! Less people than at Runyon Canyon. Wear running shoes, trails can be slippery. Next to the zoo & golf course so it's a perfect spot for the whole family!
Such a good hike!! Once you get to the top, the view of the city is amazing. You can see the Hollywood sign as well
There's a great hike for out-of-town visitors. Starts near merry-go-round. 360 views of LA and Valley from the top, plus great views of Hollywood sign. But beware...a long uphill!
Great place to come and see the Hollywood sign and LA for free. Great to bring out of town friends and LA newbies. Such a breathtaking view of the city!! <3
Very cool park that I am very allergic to. Pack some Claritin and hike up to the observatory for awesome views.
Great views and history. Read more.
By far, one of the most spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean! The Korean Bell of Friendship was dedicated on October 3, 1976 and declared Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument No. 187 in 1978.
Sandwiched between Fort MacArthur & Point Fermin. A cool area to explore with great views on a sunny afternoon. Overcast days can be downright chilly.
One of the best views of LA & the valleys (& the ocean sometimes). Great place to bring a date.
Perfect place to watch 4th of July Fireworks or get a cool view of the city.
This is the perfect place to take any tourist. Great views of LA, Hollywood and the Valley.
Great views and a great workout; do it at your own pace. I recommend taking water & a scarf or napkin to cover your nose & mouth when dust whirlwinds hit you.
I like going the counter-clockwise direction from Fuller. After summitting I prefer the long consistent descent. The views from the mansion at top are also best from this direction, IMO.
Some of the best views in the city for hiking
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
