26 places to visit in LA, from the Hammer to Yamashiro Night Market
Welcome to Curbed LA’s pocket guide, a map of 26 essential things to do in Los Angeles. Suited for locals and visitors and curated by our editors, this map is updated seasonally, focusing on cultural institutions, architecture, the outdoors, and beautiful spaces.
This summer, we’re paying special attention to things to do along the water, lush parks and gardens, impressive architecture that’s open to the public, special exhibits, and our favorite museums. Our picks include well-known classics and new favorites, from the “Beyond the Streets” graffiti showcase to the beach bike path to Yamashiro Night Market. If we missed any cool spots, let us know in the comments.
