  This beach sees a fair share of mainstream tourists every year. Known to nurture a rather eccentric spirit, spending a few hours on Venice Beach is a great way to do some people watching.

• Marveling at Modern Art
  A world-class museum, the Getty Center is known for its generous endowments across the globe. While it may not match up to the rich collections of Old World galleries, this place houses some extremely impressive works covering generations of history starting from the Renaissance. Here, you can find several painting by Van Gogh, Monet and even Rubens.
• Retail Therapy on Rodeo Drive
