Los Angeles questions
Is 4 days enough for Los Angeles and the coast?
Four days works for a focused visit to beaches and central areas. Plan daily drives or rideshares between Venice, Hollywood, and Malibu to avoid backtracking.
Do I need to book the Malibu Wine Safari ahead?
Book the Malibu Wine Safari at least a week ahead, as weekend slots fill first. Tours are priced per person and cost well over 100 dollars, so check the current rate when booking.
Do I need a car to visit El Matador Beach and Malibu?
A car or rideshare is the fastest option for El Matador and Malibu. Public buses run but add two hours each way with limited stops.
How much does parking cost at Venice Beach and Griffith Observatory?
Venice Beach lots charge 10 to 15 dollars per day. Griffith Observatory offers free parking but fills by 4 pm on weekdays.
