Best Things To Do In Downtown Los Angeles
Last updated on August 14th, 2023 at 05:40 am
Frankly speaking, Downtown Los Angeles is still an area many people don’t go around during their visits. It had never landed on any out-of-towner itineraries for a very long time.
But it’s a mostly different story these days. While Downtown still has some newness to embrace, there are several really cool activities to do here and places to see.
5 Amazing Things To Do In Downtown LA
A heads up: DTLA feels pretty different from most other cities’ downtown areas. But the neighbourhood finds a lot of visitors who arrive with an open mind and a bit of street smartness.
1. The Last Bookstore – To Get Lost In A Maze Of Books
Whether you are interested in non-fiction literature, romantic novels or fantasy books, The Last Bookstore has something for everyone. It has a cosy and quiet ambience and even allows visitors to get rid of their old books as you can sell them here.

2. Admire Bradbury Building And Its Unique Construction
This five-storey office building is open to the public, but it’s neither allowed to use the stairs nor the elevators to go up. Luckily, it’s not necessary as well since you can easily admire the place’s extraordinary construction with its unique walkways from the ground floor.
3. Visit Grand Central Market And Stuff Yourself With Delicious Food
Have you ever been to a city where you couldn’t find a food market? Impossible, right? Downtown LA is no exception. From Mexican tortillas to sticky mango rice, Grand Central Market offers a big selection of international cuisine at pretty affordable prices.
