Downtown L.A. has its tall, glass-coated skyscrapers creating an urban skyline, its sports arenas, its rich neighborhoods, its poor neighborhoods, and its endless shopping opportunities. But most of all, it has some of the best and most unique cultural icons in all of L.A. County.
Even kids get a kick out of the museums and parkland of Exposition Park, and adults enjoy the kitsch, shopping, and restaurants of Chinatown. Koreatown is thriving in the 21st century.
Downtown makes a great start for any trip to Los Angeles.
