Local knowledge for Los Angeles

Where to stay

Most budget hostels sit in Hollywood, close to the Metro B Line stops on Hollywood Blvd, or in Koreatown, which puts you a short D Line ride from downtown and surrounded by 24-hour Korean BBQ spots. Both areas let you skip renting a car, which is the fastest way to blow your budget in LA.

Getting around

  • Get a TAP card and lean on the Metro B Line. It runs from North Hollywood through Hollywood and into downtown, covering most of what first-timers want to see without the steep daily parking fees.
  • Grand Central Market on Broadway in downtown has solid meals for cheap. Go on a weekday morning to actually get a seat.
  • The Broad museum in downtown is free to enter every day, but you need a timed reservation. Book online at least a week out, or the same-day standby line gets long.

When to go

Hostels are cheapest in January and February; July and August are the hardest months to find a bed, when domestic road-trippers and European summer travelers show up at the same time.
