Downtown Los Angeles
Downtown L.A. is a business and residential district packed with interesting neighborhoods and attractions. Little Tokyo, Chinatown, or Arts District each offer a rich cultural experience, and for history buffs, the Olvera Street located close to the 19th-century Los Angeles Plaza reveals the oldest part of Los Angeles. Grand Central Market, a 30,000 square-foot arcade, offers a unique food emporium operating ever since it opened in 1917. By the way, if you love food, Greater Los Angeles offers an array of fantastic food options from all over the world, from fancy dining establishments to famous hot dogs or tacos trucks, and more. Located right outside Grand Central Market, you'll find Angels Flight. With its 298 feet inclined railway, it is supposed to be the world's shortest railway.
Downtown L.A is also full of green areas, like Pershing Square with fantastic views towards the skyscrap-ers, or lush Grand Park, located right in front of the iconic Los Angeles City Hall. Walk around the historic Broadway theater district, or admire architectural marvels around Downtown, like The Walt Disney Concert Hall designed by Frank Gehry or the neighboring contemporary art museum - The Broad.
