When to go to Los Angeles?
Distance is the first thing you notice: the skaters and boardwalk stalls of Venice Beach are an hour of traffic from the brass stars of the Walk of Fame. The Getty Center repays the climb with white travertine, gardens and a view over the whole basin, and Griffith Observatory does the same after dark, city lights below, Hollywood sign on the ridge.
