Sightseeing
I would take advantage of the many hiking paths located all around the Observatory.
Prepare yourself for what could be a longer than expected morning or evening, as there are many paths to choose from going up or coming down from the Observatory.
Either way, you'll be happy you visited here as this is one of the closer points to get a great picture of you with the iconic HOLLYWOOD sign behind you.

Echo Park Lake has become a renewed urban oasis with beautiful flowers and a lake you can paddle boat in. Echo Park Lake is also perfect for when the sunsets and the L.A. skyline lights up the night.

If you want a view that is immersed in the view, head to the 27th floor of L.A. City Hall. The observation deck is free to visit, although only open on weekdays and only until 5 pm. Not truly a night view, this penniless stop will leave you only richer than before after seeing L.A’s historic building. City Hall is also a wonderful visit. Built-in 1928, it was designed to embody “modern America.”
