Calle Olvera

Dive deeper into history, discovering a historical street, a part of the monument of El Pueblo de Los Angeles.

This is the oldest part of the city and it has a lot of things to tell. Learn about the local culture, history, fiestas, and events here.

Walt Disney Concert Hall

Admire the masterpiece of modern architecture as you approach the Walt Disney Concert Hall. Designed by Frank Gehry and constructed in 2003, now it attracts thousands of tourists with its pronounced Deconstructivism style, which shows that something new and completely different is possible.

The Broad

Be intrigued about the queue standing at the entrance of a stunning building and listen to the history of the place as told by your enthusiastic knowledgeable guide. The Broad is a museum of contemporary art that offers a unique 2,000-showpiece exhibition of post-war and newest art. Be impressed by the museum’s exterior bade of light-grey, seemingly perforated façade cover, which consists of 2,500 translucent reinforced concrete blocks.

Los Angeles Theatre

Take pictures of a unique French Baroque Los Angeles Theatre at South Broadway. Its history dates back to the 1930s, the times when the first vintage theatres in the heart of Los Angeles were built. Admire the classical architecture and choose an event you want to visit after the tour to be astonished by the gorgeous Versailles-like interiors.

The Last Bookstore

Ride by the largest California bookstore and be impressed by its size since it’s housed in the grand atrium of what was once a bank. In fact, the most valuable and oldest books are kept in bank vaults. There are new, old, very old, rare books, journals, commixes, and even vinyl discs.

Spring Street Federal Courthouse
