Hello,
we have a stopover in Los Angeles and a half day (morning) to explore
Los Angeles. Any recommendations how to spend these few hours? Maybe
some kind of city tour by bus ?!? Which part of the city is the most
interesting one?
Regards, Stefan |

LA is a huge city with lots of interesting places. What is your entry
point? LAX? And what part of the day? You may want to explore the
beach area close to the airport: Venice to Santa Monica. |

It seems to me I heard somewhere that Stefan Raabe wrote in article

Others may disagree with me (and they may know better than I do) but
ISTM your business at the airport for arrival and departure (luggage
retrieval, early check in for departure) could easily eat up three or
four hours. At best you might manage one or two very quick visits to
some very nearby attraction. I think you could easily need an hour
just for the round trip into the major tourist areas and back to the
airport.

We had a long layover at LAX a few years ago and grabbed a cab to Santa
Monica. Visited the pier area and had a nice lunch up on what I guess was
the main street/shopping area. Nice little side trip and it beat hanging
around the airport for hours.

It might be possible to spend an hour or so at Venice Beach.
