Places To Visit,Things To Do In Los Angeles(LA)

The Hollywood bowl 

With a stage that has welcomed practically every notable star, the amphitheater is one of the most well-known locations in the whole world. We'll even go so far as to argue that you haven't truly experienced Los Angeles until you've attended a performance here.

Without outdoor musical performances beneath the stars in the Bowl, a sizable natural amphitheater in the Hollywood Hills, summers in Los Angeles simply wouldn't be the same. Symphonies, jazz ensembles are all part of its yearly season, which typically spans from June to September. Bring a blanket or jacket because it becomes chilly at night. 

For a pre-show picnic, arrive early to get a table in the park-like grounds. If you don't want to bring your own food, there are a number of food stalls nearby. The Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and LA Philharmonic have their summer home there, and during the season, certain Tuesdays and Thursdays have open rehearsals.

The LA Phil and The Lucques Group, led by the James Beard Award-winning team of Chef Suzanne Goin and Restaurateur/Wine Director Caroline Styne, established a ten-year culinary relationship in August 2015. All around the Bowl, from the wine bar and on-site restaurants to the marketplace and concessions, The Lucques Group offers exceptional food and wine services. The trio's celebrated LA restaurants, a.o.c., Lucques, and Tavern, serve gourmet seasonal meals and superb wine pairings that concertgoers can anticipate.

Getting in and out of the Hollywood Bowl is the most challenging aspect of attending an event there. After the show, expect a long wait before you can drive out into traffic because parking is pricey. You may use ridesharing services or park your car at one of the Bowl's Park & Ride spaces scattered around the city.

The iconic musical venue that serves as the Los Angeles Philharmonic's home base has hosted both jazz greats and contemporary bands. a 2265-seat arena called the Walt Disney Concert Hall.

Free self-guided audio tours are available most days, and the Music Center also provides free 90-minute docent-led tours that take you inside each of its four theaters.For the most exhilarating experience attending a performance will do.
