🇺🇸 D1 If you only have one day in LA
I highly recommend this relaxed route: Sunset Blvd 👉 Hollywood Walk of Fame 👉 Hollywood Sign (view from afar) 👉 Palm Drive 👉 Santa Monica Beach Perfect for couples, friends, or even parents—easy to navigate with minimal driving and manageable parking. 🌴 Sunset Blvd Pure California vibes! Tall palm trees line the road, with sunlight filtering through—it feels like a pink-tinted dream. A great first stop to ease into the LA mood. ⭐ Hollywood Walk of Fame A classic tourist spot, but still fun to see the stars under your feet. Stay aware of your surroundings and keep your belongings close. 🎬 Hollywood Sign (distant view) You can spot the sign from various points in the city—no need to hike. We enjoyed a simple distant view that was still photo-worthy. 🌴 Palm Drive A picture-perfect palm-lined street that feels straight out of a movie. 📍 South Palm Drive 🌊 Santa Monica Beach The closest beach to downtown, featuring a pier, Ferris wheel, and beautiful sunset views. For a more local feel, Venice Beach nearby is also lovely and less crowded. 🍽 Quick LA eats: 1️⃣ Pizzana – Affordable Italian, delicious dishes, great value. 2️⃣ Chiang Rai (Long Beach) – Authentic Northern Thai cuisine, highly recommended. 3️⃣ The Misfit (Santa Monica) – Great ambiance and cocktails by the beach. #LosAngeles #LATravel #USA #California #Hollywood #TravelTips #LAFood
