Los Angeles: The Best Things to Do for Free
Free attractions in LA
If you are a budget traveler, you can find some interesting things to do in Los Angeles USA for
FREE, yes no cost tour. Here we show you a list with free places and free events to assist in L.A.
Watching One of Your Favorite TV
Sitcoms Being Taped:
Alternately
boring and fascinating (the old hurry-<
up-and-wait syndrome), being in the
audience is your chance to wander the
soundstage, marvel at the cheesy
three-wall sets that look so real on TV,
and get an inside look at the bloopers
that never make it to broadcast-and
are often far more entertaining than
the scripted dialogue.
Going to the Getty Center:
I already
mentioned it above and I'll mention
it again here because one of L.A.'s best
attractions is absolutely free.
Paying Your Respects at the Cemetery of the Stars:
Spend some down
time with Humphrey Bogart, Clark
Gable, Karen Carpenter, and all their
famous pals at L.A.'s most enduring
celebrity hangouts.
Six public cemeteries showcase the final perform-
ances of Bette Davis, Lucille Ball,
Marilyn Monroe, and dozens more
famous names. It's so popular that
people are just dying to get here (or
am I being too cryptic?).
Cruising Mulholland Drive:
Cruise
past the homes with million-dollar
views, and then pull over at the public viewing pullouts to see the
splayed-out city its all its smoggy
glory. It's even more romantic at
night, when the lights of the city and
the valley twinkle below.
Free Admission Days to L.A.'s
Museums: If it's free, baby, it's for
me. Almost all of L.A.'s art galleries
and museums are open free to the
public 1 day of the week or month
(or both), and several never charge
admission.
Evening Jazz Performances:
L.A.'s
two major art museums offer free jazz
concerts every Thursday and Friday
evening. It's the perfect coda to a
satisfying day of art appreciation.
Hollywood Bowl Rehearsals:
Few
people know about the Bowl's morn-
ing rehearsals, which are open to the
public and absolutely free. Bring coffee and doughnuts and enjoy the best
seats in the house.
