The Most Romantic Places in Los Angeles & The Best Hotels to Stay

Los Angeles is a sprawling Southern California city and the center of the nation’s film and television industry. Near its iconic Hollywood sign, studios such as Paramount Pictures, Universal and Warner Brothers offer behind-the-scenes tours. On Hollywood Boulevard, TCL Chinese Theatre displays celebrities’ hand- and footprints, the Walk of Fame honors thousands of luminaries and vendors sell maps to stars’ homes.

A city surrounded by miles of coastline and lush parks, it’s hard not to find romantic activities to enjoy with a loved one while vacationing in Los Angeles. Downtown LA is teeming with old-school date spots such as bowling alleys, movie theatres (even a drive-in), and concert halls showcasing musicals and opera all year round.

If the city feels a bit cramped for your liking, we suggest driving out to California’s expansive national forests to enjoy adventures such as hiking, camping, and even a safari tour with wine tasting.
