faq.title
faq.subtitle Los Angeles
Highly recommended! LA is spread out, public transit is limited. Rent a car or use Uber/Lyft frequently. Budget $50-100/day for car rental + parking.
FlyAway bus: $9.75 to Union Station (45min). Metro: free shuttle to station, then $1.75. Uber/Lyft: $30-60 depending on destination. Taxi: $50-80.
Year-round destination! March-May and September-November are best (less crowds, good weather). Summer is hot and crowded. December-February can be rainy.
Travel Tips
Useful tips for visiting Los Angeles
Traffic is BRUTAL. Avoid driving 7-10am and 4-7pm. Use Waze app. Plan activities by area to minimize driving.
Free attractions: Griffith Observatory, Getty Center, Santa Monica Pier, Venice Boardwalk, hiking trails. LA can be affordable!
Food truck scene is amazing! Follow @lacountyfairs or use apps. Great Mexican, Korean, fusion food for $8-15.

location.payment.currency_exchange
US Dollar (USD). JC Currency Exchange on W 6th St Downtown and LAcurrency in Beverly Hills best rates. Foreign Currency Exchange at 406 W 6th St rated highly. AVOID: LAX airport exchange - poor rates. Bank ATMs widespread - use major banks like Chase, BofA. Wise/Revolut cards recommended for tourists. Very expensive city - budget high for accommodations and dining!
