Los Angeles, Calif., may not be known for its affordability, but savvy travelers can definitely visit on a budget. Shop smart for a hotel including amenities to save money, or group up with an Airbnb, splitting the cost with a group of friends.
Begin with breakfast included in your hotel stay, or find Square One Dining in your area. With two locations, Fountain and Silver Lake, Square One offers a wide variety of breakfast items less than $10 each, with an outdoor patio.
A trip to LA wouldn’t be complete without a hike. Check out the closest trail to you, walk there and think of it as a warm-up for the hike to come. Don’t forget to bring water.
Depending on your location, grab a sandwich or salad from Mendocino Farms, or splurge and enjoy a memorable cocktail with a view at the Getty. Stroll down Rodeo Drive, Sunset Boulevard and any other iconic sights on your list for free and window shop, saving your pennies for a night out.
Scope out happy hours in your area and fill up on drinks and appetizers before heading out on the town. Feel free to splurge as you spent most of the day walking, sightseeing and eating on the cheap.
