When I used to fly from Portland to L.A., it was definitely cheaper and easier to fly into Burbank, but if you're coming from further away, a lot of airlines don't even fly directly to Burbank. It's just something for more local short trips along the west coast or nearby states.
First tip is a sort of a fail. LAX is cheaper to fly into because it's bigger. Chicago to LA is $224 LAX vs over $400 at Burbank same day. Better to save a little money even if you have to really a longer ride. The LA Metro is also building a direct train to the airport.
I recently bought a ticket from Chicago to L.A. for $100 less than what you mentioned. But I'm going there to visit family as well as to check out as much of L.A. as I can.
its really not a nice place in the slightest and its only getting worse. there are a couple fun things to do here and there but it takes hours to even get to them (so many people, way to much traffic) more and more druggies and so much pollution if you ever do end up visiting, try out carneys
I just came back from LA and it was great. The traffic moves quick, at tikes during the evening commute hours, there is heavy traffic but it moves. There’s lots of homeless but I had no issue with that and I bought many meals I could for them. About druggies, their every where in the US, but the homeless and people on drug in LA, do not bug you like in my home state of RI.
since when does the traffic move quickly?!? you must have been there during a miracle time holy shit be careful when feeding the homeless, not every cop appreciates it and will arrest you
Tavros Nitram I drove from i90 in Compton, get on the 110 with no issues. Same with the 405. But many times in downtown LA going to the 101, there was heavy traffic. I drove to San Diego Wednesday March 28 with barely any traffic.
so dont visit anything people go to la to visit? thats like going to london and telling people not to visit big ben or the tower of london... (if you do go to london, dont bother visiting madame tussauds, its very mediocre and takes hours to get into).
mrh112 don't listen to these fools. They're obviously not from LA. However, as someone who is a native of LA, I a lot of what they're saying is actually kinda true. A trip to LA can easily be an overpriced tacky tourist trap. There are so many other cool things to do while in LA that are authentic and true to the California experience
It's an overrated but historically popular hot dog place. I'd recommend Tommy Burger over Pink's any day even though both are junk food joints, but if you don't give a fuck and want good ol greasy hot dogs Tommy's is the place!
LAX only has crowds on holidays LIKE EVERY AIRPORT. Dont listen to them, I live in LA and with my over 30 airline flights at LAX it has never been bad.
I went to L.A 2 weeks ago this video pop on on my feed. I happened to hike all the way to the top of the Hollywood sign and it was an amazing experience. Just the hike itself plus the beautiful scenery of the mountains and the entire city. The sunset was amazing and walking back down in the dark was extremely enjoyable.
Kind of a quirky list. LAX isn't THAT bad and there's a Fly Away service which takes you right to the start of the Red Line metro. The Sunset Strip is different during the day, but not necessarily uninteresting (but parking's a nightmare anyway you cut it). Someone who wants to go to Pink's probably won't be satisfied with a food truck (even if I agree the dogs are uninteresting). The Venice Boardwalk is indeed crowded, but that's part of why it's fun. Also you can always step a few block over to Main Street, which is more civilized, or simply walk on the beach. Not wild about Hollywood and Highland myself, but it's pretty hard to avoid if you want to see the Chinese Theater, etc. And the shopping center itself is not better or worse than similar places (though I prefer the Grove, not least because it's right next to the Farmer's Market. Basically, most of the activities listed here are for exactly the kind of stereotypical tourist who might actually enjoy them; otherwise, no one ever had to tell me not to buy a Star Map. (When you see stars in LA, it's usually where you least expect them.)
Went to LA in 2019. Went everywhere these two guys tell you not to.Had the most amazing time and flew into LAX which was fine. Flew in from heathrow so no option but to land at LAX.
I love Venice!! I do agree that Ocean Front Walk can get crowded, wander up Abbott Kinney, explore the canals, enjoy the diverse people throughout Venice.
1. Don't call it Los An-jell-eez unless you want people to look at you like you're a blob of bird poop that just dropped out of the sky. It's Los An-jell-ess. 2. There are no QUEUES IN LA, but there are, however, plenty of LINES. 3. Another great place to see the stars: at the dress rehearsals and opening nights for theatre (as in stage plays - not films) or at the concerts of local musicians, as well as at benefit concerts and cabarets (usually special events put on by the cast of a local or touring theatre production).
53 years in Los Angeles here. No one says Queue, it may mean the same thing but no one says it. We also say in Line not on line as they do in NY. Also Visitors!! Stay out of LA It's a Toilet.
Ok, if you're going to LA for business, listen to these tips. But if you're going for fun, defiantly do and go to these things cause they're actually really fun!.
@Zain Wrong. It's "Loss An-je-lus" Cause it's not even english 🤦🏽 It's Spanish. And that's how you pronounce it in spanish. I would know, i'm hispanic and grew up only speaking spanish. 😑 you have embarrased yourself little british man😂😂
Go to Venice Beach. It's always an adventure in people watching, live entertainment, and parking. If you fly into LAX, you just may spot one or two celebrities arriving or catching a flight.
Burbank is fine but LAX is usually the least expensive airport option in the area. Also my suggestion to an "LA" visit is to stay in Orange County. If you like theme parks stay in Anaheim, where Disneyland is. If you like the beach stay in Newport Beach. Yes you will be an hour from LA (or more with traffic) but Orange County is centrally located to all of Southern California. LA is an hour north, San Diego is 1.5 hours south, and Palm Springs is 1.5 hours east. If you go to LA and expect to see more than just LA staying in Orange County would be your best option.
I went to LA from March 22 2018 till April 2. Most of your list “not to do” is bs. 1. LAX was not bad at all. I arrived and departed from terminal B, it was not bad and the baggage claiming was quick. Also, shutter buses to the car rental and hotel are available and it’s free! 2. Hollywood and highland was worth going and it was great. 3. I did the Hollywood sign hike and it was not bad. If you hike to the front of the sign trail, you get a better view. But go all the way to the top pass the sign. You see a beautiful 360 view. 4. I have to agree with the Sunset strip. It’s better during the night. 5. Venice was worth going and it was not bad. I did not see it during the tourist season. But other videos I seen, it’s worth going.
Hi, I live in LA and I revised their list 1. LAX is fine lol, honestly people overrate how chaotic it is. Probably the chillest TSA too, depending on whos working. Now, Bob hope is a pretty relaxed airport and its less stressful, but LAX isn't nearly as bad as anybody says it is though. 2. Pinks is p good, line will only take you like 20 minutes max and its a nice experience. Hot dogs are pretty good, nothing game changing but you get to say you got hot dogs at pinks 3. TBH california cops are way less chill about jaywalking than any other state, in my opinion. I usually wait at signs lol 4. They're right when they say you wont see any stars on the home tour, but theyre still very nice homes and fun to look at. You can probably go tour them yourself if you wanna put in the effort. 5. The hike to the sign really should be about the hike. Its a nice hike 6. I mean theyre right, the bars, clubs, and music venues are poppin at night, but im annoyed so im disagreeing anyways 7. Actually, keeping it real, I've never been to the venice beach boardwalk 8. hollywood and highland honestly is some boring shit tbh. For tourists its probably fun for a night or two, but everyone wants your money and about 1 in every 20 people you'll pass by is totally fucking crazy and acting on it. Also a huge homeless population, I know some tourists mind that. Tons of tourist traps.
Deez Nuts well the cops there are really nice, the U.K. Arrest is estimated at 2300 a year, in America, over 10,000 are arrested a year, but it would still be cool!
I toured the US in 1998; New York; amazing, Washington DC; fantastic, New Orleans was interesting, so was san Francisco. The Grand Canton is sublime. But then comes LA; I'm sorry but it is the dullest, ugliest & generally unappealing city I have ever visited. My advice; DON'T GO!
Having toured in my younger years, I've been to every place you've listed; minus New York. We only drove through New York, because we didn't have time to stop. I grew up in NC and mostly lived in or around Asheville. In 2013, I felt an overwhelming urge to move away. I ended up living in L.A. for an entire year. While it has downsides, as any city would, I'd honestly say it's one of the most beautiful places I've been. The vegetation, the mountains, the ocean, the sunset, the warm weather year round, and yes, even the people! L.A. was much different for me than anywhere else. I'm not a huge people person, and where I'm from the majority of people you come across are only looking out for themselves. Hey, that's totally fine. Everyone has to do what's best for them, right? Except in L.A. everyone I met, whether they had been born and raised in or had relocated to L.A., all seemed genuinely happy to not only meet me, but help me make other connections. Everyone was trying to help everyone out! I lived in Pasadena, but I was constantly meeting people and before I knew it had friends in Long Beach, Torrance, Santa Monica, Venice, Hollywood, and Valencia even. L.A. might be dull if you're not into science, art, culture, surfing/skating, delicious foods, music, film, photography/other forms of entertainment, or happen to be just flat out broke. I could see where one might find L.A. to be an overrated city for those suffering from adhd. But I think if you had time to find real people who just wanted to do the things they loved and cared enough to take you along, your perception might change. I'd scoffed at the idea of L.A. for a decade or more before moving there. I truly believed it was an overrated bullshit city. I moved there on a whim, and it not only changed my perception of Los Angeles County, it transformed my life as a whole. Anyway, I've seen my fair share of shit towns and cities, but I don't think i'd ever tell anyone not to go anywhere. People need to see things for themselves. What you found dull, ugly, and unappealing is something many people find exhilarating, beautiful, and alluring.
You have to know how to do LA. It doesn't cater to a passive tourist itinerary, because there’s no consolidated center like the others. But it’s the most content-filled, interesting city in America right now.
Nick Gray LA has changed. I first moved over here in 2000 and nobody ever went downtown and Hollywood was a dump. I moved back ten years later and the place was transformed; cleaner streets and air and an ton of restoration. Downtown LA is one of my favorite places and Hollywood, despite the tourists, is a lot of fun if you know where to go. One thing I love about it is you can live here ten years and never see it all. Every neighborhood is it's own unique place with its own character. Some of my current favorite neighborhoods are Main street in Dogtown (Santa Monica/Venice) The Historic Core downtown and Malibu.
#1 the LAX Airport is not bad, they work pretty well if you think of the sheer amount of travellers, Amsterdam Airport is bigger than LAX and far worse than LAX.
Another thing to know is that the only theme park actually in Los Angeles city limits is Universal Studios, and it only takes 6 hours max to do everything there.
First off; some of the best airlines fly into Lax so for some it is necessary. Many Stars also do still live in Hollywood and Beverly Hills according to local news reports. The Venice Boardwalk is an absolute must see for its colorful characters and fun atmosphere. You can go on a quiet day if you cannot stand crowds but most definitely consider it. You can rent a bike as well and bike up along the ocean or walk the beach as well, so you do not have to be in the thick of the crowds the whole time. As someone who lives here, I rarely want to go to Hollywood and Highland, but it does have a fun atmosphere and interesting things to see like Madame Tussade's the Chinese Theatre and other museums, fun shops like Sweet, and restaurants, so telling people not to go there is a bit of a disservice. Perhaps if people hate crowds they should avoid it, but it is not always too crowded. Most of the rest seems right I Just have not tried Pinks Hotdogs yet.
Your videos are awesome and enjoyable, even though I am not travelling anywhere. I hope you do something about Finland and northern countries at somepoint. 👍
The walk up to the Hollywood sign has many great views of the city which makes it well worth the time. Also the street they say to get your picture is not tourist UN-friendly. Also eat at Original Tommy's Hamburgers on Beverly & Rampart.
Right on with Burbank airport, definitely closer to Hollywood than LAX, maybe downtown as well. Your plane lands right next to the taxi stand. Pinks IS gross, always a line... Crosswalk thing is ridiculous AND true unfortunately. I still violate it. There are celebrities EVERYWHERE. As anyone in LA will tell you, "Guess who I saw at the liquor store..." RIGHT around the corner from Hollywood/Highland entertainment complex or whatever, it quickly becomes very non-touristy. LOTS of clubs, bars, a restaurant, score crack... I personally think you SHOULD go to Venice Beach and it SHOULD be during the day. VERY interesting people, beautiful beach, a little dirty, sketchy at night... Hope that was helpful! Great video, very funny and mostly spot on.
SoCal native, except fo the celebrity things, this is completely false. Venice beach boardwalk is not to miss. There is no way you’re flying into Burbank by the way
I live in the greater L.A. area so I go to downtown about every month and that Spiderman guy did force my family for a picture we didn't even want Also, try exposition park, it has a lot of good museums. A good spot to see the Hollywood sign is from the Griffith observatory. Try the international places such as little Tokyo or China if you want food like that. Finally, go to Tommy's world famous chili, but not when there is a Dodger game (also Don't where anything Angels or any other baseball team related)
One more thing: If you're in North LA, don't park on any Northern major streets or in the residential areas. You will get towed! Park on minor streets that are more so in the business district down south. If it's too far for you to walk, take an Uber and remember where you parked!
Another thing... when driving anywhere, don't be considerate to other drivers. In fact, do everything in your power to make everyone's life on the road a living hell. :D
That last one is so true...please go there though! it's really fun to explore and there's lots to do. However, do try to avoid everyone trying to sell you stuff...
I went to a couple of these places on my vacation including Hollywood and highland which was super cool, no one tried to sell me anything, and I got a great picture with the Hollywood sign, so I recommend for people to go to check out the fun shops there as well. I also spent a day at Venice beach which was so much fun. My family and I walked along the beach peacefully on a summer weekend and we got to see cool shops and surfers. So I appreciate the tips on jaywalking but just because something is crowded on occasion means the complete opposite of its a waste of time. You should be smart enough to know people want to fly to lax to sing party in the USA so let them, and stop bringing more hate into the world. But then again thank you because now all the stupid people that listen to you just made the line that is worth it at pinks a little shorter.
Oh pls don't visit the Venice Beach! Cons: -You have to move a bit slower Pros: +interesting +iconic +fun people +Beach No please don't the negatives are beyond comparing
LAX is one of the best air ports in Los Angeles and pinks is awesome and I walked all the way up to the Hollywood sign.And I walked Venice beach bored walk.
I feel like Los Angeles is only popular because teenagers and college kids think they can move out here, become famous overnight, and party with celebs every day on the beach. I lived there for 3 years(ages 19, 20, 21), and was honestly surprised at how boring I thought it was. But then again I was never in to any of the surf/skate, club, entertainment scenes, so to me, the most exciting thing about LA was living close to Six Flags Magic Mountain, and going all year. 😂 And after living in New York City for several years, all the food, the shopping, and the attractions were just so underwhelming It was pretty dirty too. O.e San Diego was so much nicer. Tbh
I live in LA and every once and a while I'll go down to Hollywood and Highland. I don't mind it. Though there was a street performer who was drumming and whenever he saw someone filming him he would just stop playing until you either payed him or stopped filming.
Great video, but I feel as if the whole "packed tourists" scenery is one of the experiences you should enjoy, just like going to NYC. Both cities are the most populated in America and people live in their saturated environments day-to-day, so you gotta get the full effect. :)
I'm in Los Angeles area, and you are pointing out some common knowledge things (stars don't necessarily live in those houses anymore), but you are saying things that people in LA wouldn't follow themselves. For example, if you are coming from an international city or even a domestic line unless it's in California like San Francisco, Burbank airport is too much of a hassle to get to. Sure, LAX is crowded, but if you're coming for example from London, England, you have to fly to someplace like San Francisco, go through customs there, and then go from the international terminal to the domestic one at SFO and then catch a flight to Burbank. Yes, Burbank is in many ways a A better airport than LAX, but it is not as easy to reach as the video makes it sound. Also, Burbank airport is more in the northern part of Los Angeles county, where'as LAX is on the west side, but more central. I've never been to pinks hotdogs either, cupids was better LOL
Don't go the San Fernando Valley because it super boring (upset food trucks) and never ever go to Antelope Valley (that the dark spot of LA and it is there, for your pit stop before driving to Las Vegas but you don't want to stop there)
#1 Not to do in Seattle Never ever think there's no rain #2 Never EVER hate the Seahawks #3 NEVER WEAR SHORTS DURING THE WINTER #3 DONT BUY A SWIMMING POOL OR GO TO ONE IN THE COLD SEASONS, EVER
Lol, about the jay walking thing.Saw a guy that was jay walking while hitting a joint in daytime in front of a cop.The cop did not say shit .He was basically like "whatever".
Also if you're going to los angles don't call it Hollywood call it L.A.
Blueman 57 FKN I LIVE HERE AND I TELL PPL DAT ALL DA TIM
Blueman 57 that makes no sense
+Love cause some people think Hollywood is a city but it's not it's a neighborhood in LA people think its is own city
Luis Lopez its actually a distric
Tourist Hollywood is like only one street in reality.
Mate major airlines don't fly to Bob Hope airport
faizan joyia exactly. And it's super super expensive. A $100 ticket at LAX can be up to $400 at Bob Hope
You can take a flight to the Long Beach airport 10/15 minute lyft to the metro and take the train to LA union station.
Not that it makes that much of a difference time wise. :P
When I used to fly from Portland to L.A., it was definitely cheaper and easier to fly into Burbank, but if you're coming from further away, a lot of airlines don't even fly directly to Burbank. It's just something for more local short trips along the west coast or nearby states.
fly John Wayne
so pretty much dont do anything...sit inside your airconditioned motel room all day...
yep yep, especially now, its only getting worse
MoMo Baklava The pollution here is awful
Hahah go check out my la vlog to see what i did :)
Yep these people have probably never been to LA
I don’t like LA go to Las Vegas
This just annoys me. Ive lived in LA my whole life and NONE of these are true. Dont listen to them.
I live near LA and I think they are spot on except do Venice Beach on a weekday.

Wish they would finish that Expo Line already...
LAX isn't so bad. Plus, if you're coming in from Heathrow or Narita, where else would your A380/777 land?
Yeah exactly.
lol I am coming from Heathrow soon xD
i live in LA and i have never eaten at pinks hotdogs
blue dOt Exe wtf is pinks same i live beverly hills
blue dOt Exe it's good there but I've waited 1 hour in line once to show my friends.
Lmao same here. Never even heard of it
They closed it :(
I've never even heard of Pinks before tbh, most of us are into like In N Out.
I live in LA and can I just say, PLEASE GO TO VENICE BOARDWALK. It's perfect as long as you don't go during the weekend. Please experience it.
i want to go to LA its a really nice place.. Dont go to LA its so crowded just stay home
thats what i basically got from this video.
its really not a nice place in the slightest and its only getting worse. there are a couple fun things to do here and there but it takes hours to even get to them (so many people, way to much traffic) more and more druggies and so much pollution
if you ever do end up visiting, try out carneys
I just came back from LA and it was great. The traffic moves quick, at tikes during the evening commute hours, there is heavy traffic but it moves.

haha ya, ive never seen that before, glad you were able to get to where you needed to go quickly though cause goddamn
I love hiking to the Hollywood sign. it's just a good hike!
so dont visit anything people go to la to visit? thats like going to london and telling people not to visit big ben or the tower of london... (if you do go to london, dont bother visiting madame tussauds, its very mediocre and takes hours to get into).

mrh112 my name is London 🙄
go check out my la vlog to see me go to ALL these places!
Haha... was watching this and then saw me in a spidey suit...hahaahaa
That was you?
That's not true about the sunset strip. It's alive all day!
The pink's suggestion is not right at all it is a tradition to all of us LA people so just don't say that.
" Los angeleeees!??!!?" 😂😂😂 this video already g to a like from the first 14 seconds of watching
i live in Los Angeles what the fuck is Pinks
Lazy Lucario i live in los angeles too
It's an overrated but historically popular hot dog place. I'd recommend Tommy Burger over Pink's any day even though both are junk food joints, but if you don't give a fuck and want good ol greasy hot dogs Tommy's is the place!
I went to Pinks when I went to Knotts Berry Farm but its okay. I don't understand why everyone likes it....also hello frens I live in this city too
Lazy Lucario to go to east LA and get 2 for $5 bacon wrapped street hot dogs
No idea. I live here too and never heard of it. 😂 Apparently it's a tourist thing?
LAX only has crowds on holidays LIKE EVERY AIRPORT. Dont listen to them, I live in LA and with my over 30 airline flights at LAX it has never been bad.

Went to LA in 2019.
Went everywhere these two guys tell you not to.Had the most amazing time and flew into LAX which was fine.
Flew in from heathrow so no option but to land at LAX.
Venice beach is sorta crowded but its not horrible. Literally venice beaach is amazing just go.
Chubba Chuba parkings kinda a bitch though
I disagree about not hiking up to the Hollywood sign!! it's an amazing hike & you also get an awesome view of LA as well
Don't street race? The police don't like the fast and furious much?
But I can never stop Jaywalking, no matter what I do I can't stop Jay walking, lol
Stop listening to the whiny British guy buy GTA 5 and go to all of the tourist spots there it's cheaper and more fun
I love Venice!! I do agree that Ocean Front Walk can get crowded, wander up Abbott Kinney, explore the canals, enjoy the diverse people throughout Venice.
I live in LA and these are not true
this makes me scared to fly into LAX but the hotel we are staying at offers a free shuttle ride from LAX so fingers crossed it all works out
1. Don't call it Los An-jell-eez unless you want people to look at you like you're a blob of bird poop that just dropped out of the sky. It's Los An-jell-ess.
2. There are no QUEUES IN LA, but there are, however, plenty of LINES.

Wil Mees lines and queues are the same thing... if you want to rat out what people are doing wrong get your facts right.
53 years in Los Angeles here. No one says Queue, it may mean the same thing but no one says it. We also say in Line not on line as they do in NY. Also Visitors!! Stay out of LA
It's a Toilet.
LAX serves more airlines, and while the rail route isn't direct, the Flyaway Bus goes to Union Station, and a shuttle goes to the green line.
ive done some of those things when i went to cali and theu havent turned out the way you explained
they*
Venice boardwalk is awesome! I've literally been hundreds of times!
Things not to do in Canada please
toronto
Say "Americans have superior hockey now"
But Canada still is better at hockey
Vancouver/Burnaby! 😂
American hockey might be superior because the teams are packed with Canadian players. ;-)
Ok, if you're going to LA for business, listen to these tips. But if you're going for fun, defiantly do and go to these things cause they're actually really fun!.
Things not to do in Toronto.
Savage Patch Man Agreed! :)
i walked up to the hollywood sign it was amazing
DON'T call is "Loss An-guh-lees" - sounds awful!
It's pronounced “Loss An-je-lus"
@Zain Wrong. It's "Loss An-je-lus" Cause it's not even english 🤦🏽 It's Spanish. And that's how you pronounce it in spanish. I would know, i'm hispanic and grew up only speaking spanish. 😑 you have embarrased yourself little british man😂😂
@Zain no it's a "he" sound. Americans say it like "ge" but the "leeees" part that British people say isn't right
Go to Venice Beach. It's always an adventure in people watching, live entertainment, and parking.
If you fly into LAX, you just may spot one or two celebrities arriving or catching a flight.
None of these are true I live in LA
Burbank is fine but LAX is usually the least expensive airport option in the area. Also my suggestion to an "LA" visit is to stay in Orange County.

Do "things not to do in Baltimore"
I own a wii u what's with Baltimore tho? Might move there next year
Balitmore isn't know as the safest place. Do your research on the area you plan to move!
Onlylettuce92 why is that so? My family is there
Things not to do in Baltimore: go there.
I live in Baltimore
I went to LA from March 22 2018 till April 2. Most of your list “not to do” is bs.
1. LAX was not bad at all. I arrived and departed from terminal B, it was not bad and the baggage claiming was quick. Also, shutter buses to the car rental and hotel are available and it’s free!
2. Hollywood and highland was worth going and it was great.
3. I did the Hollywood sign hike and it was not bad. If you hike to the front of the sign trail, you get a better view. But go all the way to the top pass the sign. You see a beautiful 360 view.
4. I have to agree with the Sunset strip. It’s better during the night.
5. Venice was worth going and it was not bad. I did not see it during the tourist season. But other videos I seen, it’s worth going.
This is like the rip off of good mythical morning
its just two people talking,v how is it copyed
Diego Colon except not as interesting 😂
Hi, I live in LA and I revised their list
1. LAX is fine lol, honestly people overrate how chaotic it is. Probably the chillest TSA too, depending on whos working. Now, Bob hope is a pretty relaxed airport and its less stressful, but LAX isn't nearly as bad as anybody says it is though.
2. Pinks is p good, line will only take you like 20 minutes max and its a nice experience. Hot dogs are pretty good, nothing game changing but you get to say you got hot dogs at pinks
3. TBH california cops are way less chill about jaywalking than any other state, in my opinion. I usually wait at signs lol
4. They're right when they say you wont see any stars on the home tour, but theyre still very nice homes and fun to look at. You can probably go tour them yourself if you wanna put in the effort.
5. The hike to the sign really should be about the hike. Its a nice hike
6. I mean theyre right, the bars, clubs, and music venues are poppin at night, but im annoyed so im disagreeing anyways
7. Actually, keeping it real, I've never been to the venice beach boardwalk
8. hollywood and highland honestly is some boring shit tbh. For tourists its probably fun for a night or two, but everyone wants your money and about 1 in every 20 people you'll pass by is totally fucking crazy and acting on it. Also a huge homeless population, I know some tourists mind that. Tons of tourist traps.
I live in Los Angeles and think you've missed the mark on a few things here!!
Like what? Going on vacation in like 4 days so lmk if u could! Thanks! :)
thanks for the tips, I am going to LA and thankfully I didn't buy an aeroplane ticket in LAX 😂😂 Keep up the good guys!
Do what not to do in London

Deez Nuts well the cops there are really nice, the U.K. Arrest is estimated at 2300 a year, in America, over 10,000 are arrested a year, but it would still be cool!

Hahah love the list as a conversation. It's cute.
I toured the US in 1998; New York; amazing, Washington DC; fantastic, New Orleans was interesting, so was san Francisco. The Grand Canton is sublime.
But then comes LA; I'm sorry but it is the dullest, ugliest & generally unappealing city I have ever visited.
My advice; DON'T GO!
Having toured in my younger years, I've been to every place you've listed; minus New York. We only drove through New York, because we didn't have time to stop. I grew up in NC and mostly lived in or around Asheville. In 2013, I felt an overwhelming urge to move away. I ended up living in L.A. for an entire year. While it has downsides, as any city would, I'd honestly say it's one of the most beautiful places I've been. The vegetation, the mountains, the ocean, the sunset, the warm weather year round, and yes, even the people! L.A. was much different for me than anywhere else. I'm not a huge people person, and where I'm from the majority of people you come across are only looking out for themselves. Hey, that's totally fine. Everyone has to do what's best for them, right? Except in L.A. everyone I met, whether they had been born and raised in or had relocated to L.A., all seemed genuinely happy to not only meet me, but help me make other connections. Everyone was trying to help everyone out! I lived in Pasadena, but I was constantly meeting people and before I knew it had friends in Long Beach, Torrance, Santa Monica, Venice, Hollywood, and Valencia even.
L.A. might be dull if you're not into science, art, culture, surfing/skating, delicious foods, music, film, photography/other forms of entertainment, or happen to be just flat out broke. I could see where one might find L.A. to be an overrated city for those suffering from adhd. But I think if you had time to find real people who just wanted to do the things they loved and cared enough to take you along, your perception might change. I'd scoffed at the idea of L.A. for a decade or more before moving there. I truly believed it was an overrated bullshit city. I moved there on a whim, and it not only changed my perception of Los Angeles County, it transformed my life as a whole.
Anyway, I've seen my fair share of shit towns and cities, but I don't think i'd ever tell anyone not to go anywhere. People need to see things for themselves. What you found dull, ugly, and unappealing is something many people find exhilarating, beautiful, and alluring.
Nick Gray your totally right
Everything is totally illegal here in LA too.
You have to know how to do LA. It doesn't cater to a passive tourist itinerary, because there’s no consolidated center like the others. But it’s the most content-filled, interesting city in America right now.
Nick Gray LA has changed. I first moved over here in 2000 and nobody ever went downtown and Hollywood was a dump. I moved back ten years later and the place was transformed; cleaner streets and air and an ton of restoration. Downtown LA is one of my favorite places and Hollywood, despite the tourists, is a lot of fun if you know where to go. One thing I love about it is you can live here ten years and never see it all. Every neighborhood is it's own unique place with its own character. Some of my current favorite neighborhoods are Main street in Dogtown (Santa Monica/Venice) The Historic Core downtown and Malibu.
#1 the LAX Airport is not bad, they work pretty well if you think of the sheer amount of travellers, Amsterdam Airport is bigger than LAX and far worse than LAX.
I’ve skated through the Venice boardwalk without a problem so don’t worry go whenever you’d like 👍
I seriously love that intro 😂
No. This is very inaccurate to los angeles i live there also you need to go to LANGERS. IT IS WORLD FAMOUS PASTRAMI
Another thing to know is that the only theme park actually in Los Angeles city limits is Universal Studios, and it only takes 6 hours max to do everything there.
Yeah thats 6 hours when it isnt crowded. Once it becomes around noon on a weekend, it will be packed.
if you must LAX, use the Van Nuys flyaway. also museums around LA are free on various Tuesdays.
First off; some of the best airlines fly into Lax so for some it is necessary. Many Stars also do still live in Hollywood and Beverly Hills according to local news reports.
The Venice Boardwalk is an absolute must see for its colorful characters and fun atmosphere. You can go on a quiet day if you cannot stand crowds but most definitely consider it. You can rent a bike as well and bike up along the ocean or walk the beach as well, so you do not have to be in the thick of the crowds the whole time.
As someone who lives here, I rarely want to go to Hollywood and Highland, but it does have a fun atmosphere and interesting things to see like Madame Tussade's the Chinese Theatre and other museums, fun shops like Sweet, and restaurants, so telling people not to go there is a bit of a disservice. Perhaps if people hate crowds they should avoid it, but it is not always too crowded.
Most of the rest seems right I Just have not tried Pinks Hotdogs yet.
The only thing you need to avoid in LA is accidentally ending up in Compton, they don’t take kindly to strangers in those there parts
😂😂😂 poor guy kept getting shot down! This video was great thanks guys.
These guys have probably never been to LA why should I trust you guys instead of someone who lives there
Your videos are awesome and enjoyable, even though I am not travelling anywhere. I hope you do something about Finland and northern countries at somepoint. 👍
"When you go to San Francisco, DON'T bother with the Golden Gate bridge! There are plenty of other bridges in San Francisco that are much less busy."
when I went to LAx in June it wasn't crowded at all
Oh my god I stayed on the sunset strip
I live in Los Angeles plus I know all of these rules
The walk up to the Hollywood sign has many great views of the city which makes it well worth the time. Also the street they say to get your picture is not tourist UN-friendly.
Also eat at Original Tommy's Hamburgers on Beverly & Rampart.
Right on with Burbank airport, definitely closer to Hollywood than LAX, maybe downtown as well. Your plane lands right next to the taxi stand.
Pinks IS gross, always a line...
Crosswalk thing is ridiculous AND true unfortunately. I still violate it.
There are celebrities EVERYWHERE. As anyone in LA will tell you, "Guess who I saw at the liquor store..."
RIGHT around the corner from Hollywood/Highland entertainment complex or whatever, it quickly becomes very non-touristy. LOTS of clubs, bars, a restaurant, score crack...
I personally think you SHOULD go to Venice Beach and it SHOULD be during the day. VERY interesting people, beautiful beach, a little dirty, sketchy at night...
Hope that was helpful!
Great video, very funny and mostly spot on.
Yah it's true every start has the tallest fence and biggest trees and bushes, you can't even see most of the stars houses
SoCal native, except fo the celebrity things, this is completely false. Venice beach boardwalk is not to miss. There is no way you’re flying into Burbank by the way
Also, nobody hangouts downtown. Unless you're going to a concert or laker game
I live in the greater L.A. area so I go to downtown about every month and that Spiderman guy did force my family for a picture we didn't even want
Also, try exposition park, it has a lot of good museums.
A good spot to see the Hollywood sign is from the Griffith observatory.
Try the international places such as little Tokyo or China if you want food like that.
Finally, go to Tommy's world famous chili, but not when there is a Dodger game (also Don't where anything Angels or any other baseball team related)
One more thing: If you're in North LA, don't park on any Northern major streets or in the residential areas. You will get towed! Park on minor streets that are more so in the business district down south. If it's too far for you to walk, take an Uber and remember where you parked!
Jake Stockton and don't call it Los AngelEs
Another thing... when driving anywhere, don't be considerate to other drivers. In fact, do everything in your power to make everyone's life on the road a living hell. :D
That last one is so true...please go there though! it's really fun to explore and there's lots to do. However, do try to avoid everyone trying to sell you stuff...
I don't know why but I yelled "STAHP RIGHT DERE!" when he mentioned Jaywalking
I was born in Los Angeles California on August 30 2005
I'm glad that I didn't do any of those things the two times I've been to LA. Except for the LAX airport. Good tip there.
This is sooo true. A man dressed up as Dart Vader charged me $20 to make a video with him.
hiking to the Hollywood sign is a good thing to do
Fly to Lax, it’s not as hard as you think. Enjoy your time wait in lines. Visit Venice beach it’s amazing. Go where you want, enjoy enjoy enjoy.
I went to a couple of these places on my vacation including Hollywood and highland which was super cool, no one tried to sell me anything, and I got a great picture with the Hollywood sign, so I recommend for people to go to check out the fun shops there as well. I also spent a day at Venice beach which was so much fun. My family and I walked along the beach peacefully on a summer weekend and we got to see cool shops and surfers. So I appreciate the tips on jaywalking but just because something is crowded on occasion means the complete opposite of its a waste of time. You should be smart enough to know people want to fly to lax to sing party in the USA so let them, and stop bringing more hate into the world. But then again thank you because now all the stupid people that listen to you just made the line that is worth it at pinks a little shorter.
Jesus the guy on the left sounds as if he owns a kid show.
All airports besides LAX are mainly domestic you wouldn’t get any trans Atlantic or trans pacific flights out of Burbank or whatever
Oh pls don't visit the Venice Beach!
Cons:
-You have to move a bit slower
Pros:
+interesting
+iconic
+fun people
+Beach
No please don't the negatives are beyond comparing
LAX is one of the best air ports in Los Angeles and pinks is awesome and I walked all the way up to the Hollywood sign.And I walked Venice beach bored walk.
i haven't seen many of your videos, so i don't know if you have already, but can you do one for Seattle?! :DDD
I feel like Los Angeles is only popular because teenagers and college kids think they can move out here, become famous overnight, and party with celebs every day on the beach.
I lived there for 3 years(ages 19, 20, 21), and was honestly surprised at how boring I thought it was.
But then again I was never in to any of the surf/skate, club, entertainment scenes, so to me, the most exciting thing about LA was living close to Six Flags Magic Mountain, and going all year. 😂
And after living in New York City for several years, all the food, the shopping, and the attractions were just so underwhelming
It was pretty dirty too. O.e
San Diego was so much nicer. Tbh
I live in LA and every once and a while I'll go down to Hollywood and Highland. I don't mind it. Though there was a street performer who was drumming and whenever he saw someone filming him he would just stop playing until you either payed him or stopped filming.
Great video, but I feel as if the whole "packed tourists" scenery is one of the experiences you should enjoy, just like going to NYC. Both cities are the most populated in America and people live in their saturated environments day-to-day, so you gotta get the full effect. :)
My home, Denver, Colorado and if you haven't done it yet, the place where my wife grew up, Jakarta, Indonesia.
Basically these guys don't want me to go anywhere crowded... in Los Angeles
What not to do in...
- The International Space Station
- The Moon
- Antarctica
- Mars
- A US Navy Aircraft Carrier
What not to do in the ISS
Don't step outside.
I work at bob Hope Airport, that is 100% true it’s so easy to land from there
I'm in Los Angeles area, and you are pointing out some common knowledge things (stars don't necessarily live in those houses anymore), but you are saying things that people in LA wouldn't follow themselves. For example, if you are coming from an international city or even a domestic line unless it's in California like San Francisco, Burbank airport is too much of a hassle to get to. Sure, LAX is crowded, but if you're coming for example from London, England, you have to fly to someplace like San Francisco, go through customs there, and then go from the international terminal to the domestic one at SFO and then catch a flight to Burbank. Yes, Burbank is in many ways a A better airport than LAX, but it is not as easy to reach as the video makes it sound. Also, Burbank airport is more in the northern part of Los Angeles county, where'as LAX is on the west side, but more central.
I've never been to pinks hotdogs either, cupids was better LOL
Don't go the San Fernando Valley because it super boring (upset food trucks) and never ever go to Antelope Valley (that the dark spot of LA and it is there, for your pit stop before driving to Las Vegas but you don't want to stop there)
I've lived in LA for a while and never knew about any of this
#1 Not to do in Seattle
Never ever think there's no rain
#2
Never EVER hate the Seahawks
#3 NEVER WEAR SHORTS DURING THE WINTER
#3
DONT BUY A SWIMMING POOL OR GO TO ONE IN THE COLD SEASONS, EVER
Los Angeles looks like a very disagreeable holiday destination to me so I shall forego the somewhat dubious pleasure of visiting the city.
DO go to Venice Boardwalk, and DO go to Hollywood & Highland. Neither are as busy as they have made out...
Lol, about the jay walking thing.Saw a guy that was jay walking while hitting a joint in daytime in front of a cop.The cop did not say shit .He was basically like "whatever".
