Trip"},"content":{"rendered":"

Touring Los Angeles<\/a> on a budget can prove difficult, if for no other reason, because the cost of living in L.A. ranks among the highest in the world.\u00a0 Yet, it\u2019s still possible to travel cheap in Los Angeles if you take advantage of all the things to do in L.A. that come free of charge.\u00a0 You\u2019d probably be surprised to discover how many of the top Los Angeles attractions don\u2019t cost a thing.\u00a0 And, here are some of our best examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hit the Streets of Hollywood<\/h4>\n

\"touring<\/p>\n

Hanging out on the streets may not sound like an ideal activity for those touring Los Angeles on a budget.\u00a0 But, chilling on the corner of Hollywood & Vine and taking part in a little Hollyweird people-watching represents a rite of passage of sorts.\u00a0 What\u2019s more, you can enjoy two of the top Los Angeles attractions just by pounding the pavement:\u00a0 The Hollywood Walk of Fame and The Hollywood Sign<\/a>!\u00a0 Find your favorite celebrity\u2019s star or hike up to the sign for free during your L.A. trip.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Beach Bums<\/h4>\n

\"touring<\/p>\n

Rediscover that some of the best things in life are free during a thrifty Los Angeles excursion.\u00a0 Los Angeles enjoys worldwide fame for its perfect weather and sandy beaches.\u00a0 And, perhaps the best part about both is that they come free of charge.\u00a0 Whether you want to hit the water or simply soak up some rays, Santa Monica, Venice<\/a>, Malibu, and other famous beaches provide exactly what you need.\u00a0 On a beach day, all that\u2019s required for touring Los Angeles on a budget is a little food and water.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Far East in the Far West<\/h4>\n

\"touring<\/p>\n

While San Francisco<\/a> receives all of the global attention for its famous Chinatown, the Chinatown in L.A. has received its fair share of exposure, as well.\u00a0 Heck, one of the best movies of all time takes place in L.A.\u2019s Chinatown, thanks to the once-in-a-lifetime performance by Jack Nicholson.\u00a0 Today, you can roam the streets for free, sample goodies at authentic Chinese restaurants, and peruse the shops for an inexpensive souvenir to take home.\u00a0 It\u2019s what to do in Los Angeles when you\u2019re travelling on a budget!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Take Advantage of Free Museums<\/h4>\n

\"touring<\/p>\n

If you have to travel cheap in Los Angeles, then you probably don\u2019t want to spend a bunch of money on general admission to this attraction or that.\u00a0 L.A. attraction tickets can quickly add up to a majority of your spending budget.\u00a0 Luckily, two of the best museums in Los Angeles offer free admission:\u00a0 The J. Paul Getty Museum and the California Science Center.\u00a0 So, whether you\u2019re an art-lover or a science geek, you\u2019re sure to experience something fantastic for free during your Los Angeles sightseeing trip.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Take in a Show<\/h4>\n

\"touring<\/p>\n

Unlike going to a Broadway show in New York, becoming an audience member for a Hollywood T.V. show is often free.\u00a0 Popular T.V. talk shows, sitcoms, and other programs absolutely need people in the seats.\u00a0 So, most of them offer free admission if you play your cards right.\u00a0 Usually, you will have to book your spot far in advance.\u00a0 But, if you plan ahead and stay persistent, then you could end up watching Jimmy Kimmel or Jimmy Fallon at no charge.\u00a0 It\u2019s one of the craftiest things to do in Los Angeles!<\/p>\n
