Los Angeles travel tips
Gaze at the stars for free at the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles
The Griffith Observatory is located on a hill with stunning views of the west part of Los Angeles. There are free telescopes for public use on the lawn in front of the observatory.

Plan your commuting around Los Angeles with traffic jams in mind
The biggest problem in LA is traffic. Almost all highways are idle during peak hours. Therefore, plan your activities and choose routes in advance, especially if you have rented a car. Peak hours are usually 8:30-10:00 and 17:00-18:30.
