Your Los Angeles snapshot

Los Angeles is spread across a huge region, so the smartest holiday is built around where you want to spend your days. Many families divide their stay between Anaheim for Disneyland and Los Angeles for Hollywood, Universal and the coast.

Experiences worth building around

Disneyland Resort

Allow two or more days if you want to experience Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure without racing.

Universal Studios Hollywood

Combine movie-inspired rides with the working studio setting and Studio Tour.

Griffith Observatory

Enjoy sweeping city views and a classic perspective of the Hollywood Sign.

Hollywood

See major film landmarks, theatres and entertainment history.

Santa Monica and the coast

Add the pier, beach and nearby neighbourhoods for a different pace.

Museums, sport and studios

Choose experiences that match your interests, from film and art to major-league games.

A first-time plan

Days 1–3

Stay around Anaheim and devote two or three days to Disneyland Resort.

Day 4

Move closer to Hollywood or another LA base and spend a day at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Days 5–6

Explore Griffith Observatory, Hollywood, a museum or sporting event, and the coast.

This is inspiration, not a fixed itinerary—we can shape it around your dates, interests and travelling party.

Good to know

  • Choose accommodation by area; crossing Los Angeles can take much longer than the map suggests.
  • Pre-book theme-park tickets and check whether dated reservations are required.
  • Avoid scheduling a major attraction immediately after landing from Australia if possible.
