How much time should I spend in LA? Let me start by saying that LA is a HUGE city and the landmarks are spread apart from each other. Ideally, you should try to spend 5-7 days here if you don't want to be rushed and want to see everything.

3 days gives you plenty of time to see a lot of LA, however, you can't cover the whole city in this amount of time. Los Angeles definitely left us wanting more along with the rest of California – which is why we have been back several times!
Given the size of the city, and how spread out it is, I recommend a 5-day Los Angeles Itinerary. In 5 days in LA, you can avoid spending your visit running around from sight to sight, without time to really enjoy the unique atmosphere of the city.
The best time to visit Los Angeles is in the spring, from March through May, and in autumn, from September to November. These times of the year have lovely weather, fewer crowds, and cleaner, crisper air. The summer months from June through August can swelter with soaring temperatures and thick smog.

Many neighborhoods, such as Downtown LA, Santa Monica, and Westwood, have highly walkable streets with plenty of amenities nearby. Additionally, LA has an extensive public transit system that can help you get around without a car.
If you rent a car in LA but only plan to use it now and then during your trip, Uber probably will be cheaper. If you intend on driving around every day, rent a car in LA could be cheaper.
Accommodation makes up a big chunk of your travel budget when visiting LA, but you can save money by avoiding popular areas like Beverly Hills and Malibu. Districts like Koreatown, located between Hollywood and downtown, offer a mix of budget-friendly hotels, hostels, and guesthouses within its vibrant neighborhood.
Hollywood is where all the transplants and tourists live and play. DTLA is more a local vibe and has a bit more edge. What you get is location and the competition. It has little to do with quality of the hotel.
Stick to the NeighborhoodsThe best advice for avoiding being stuck in traffic is to stay off the interstates at peak times, generally from 7 to 10 in the morning and 3 to 7 in the evening.
