Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa shares his picks for some of the must-see places in Los Angeles.
Watts Towers

The Watts Towers are a spectacular installation in South LA that highlights the limitless creativity of Angelenos.
Battleship USS Iowa

The U.S.S. Iowa is the latest addition to the Port of Los Angeles, the busiest port complex in the nation. The Pacific Battleship Center gives locals and tourists an opportunity to see, touch and feel the history of our country’s Navy.
Griffith Park

No visit to LA is complete without a trip to Griffith Park, one of the largest urban parks in the nation and the home of the world-renowned Griffith Observatory.
L.A. LIVE

When I came into office in 2005 L.A. Live was nothing more than a glimmer in the eye. Today, it’s re-shaping Downtown as a symbol of our style and smart growth.
Universal Studios Hollywood

The San Fernando Valley is an important cultural and economic hub of Los Angeles. Universal Studios is one our most exciting and universally recognized tourist destinations – it’s absolutely worth a stop, especially for the kids.
Exposition Park

Expo Park is an exciting cross section of so much that Los Angeles has to offer: it’s adjacent to the new Expo Metro Line, it’s home to the California Science Center, the Space Shuttle Endeavour, the African American History Museum and the Memorial Coliseum. Swing by on a Saturday during a USC football game and you won’t be disappointed.
Los Angeles County Museum Of Art (LACMA)

Home to over 100,000 objects, LACMA is the largest art museum in the western United States and a true jewel of Los Angeles.
Walt Disney Concert Hall at The Music Center
The Walt Disney Concert Hall is a world-renowned piece of architecture and home to the LA Phil. It’s also part of a transforming Civic Center, just across from the brand new Grand Park.
Getty Center

Home to breathtaking views and engaging exhibits, the Getty Center is one of Los Angeles’ world-class destinations. Make sure to check out the 134,000 square foot Getty Garden.
