Los Angeles Travel: What You Need To Know for 2022

California's largest metropolis is sprawling and offers a diverse range of activities to visitors in an often picture-perfect paradise. From surfing to skiing (yes, there are mountains in Southern California) and Hollywood to hidden gems, there are so many things to explore in Los Angeles, the average visitor will not see it all at one time.

Coronavirus restrictions have been officially lifted in Los Angeles, and California as a whole.

The state still recommends unvaccinated people wear face coverings indoors, but there are no testing or vaccination requirements mandated by the city or the state.

Should travelers need it, PCR and rapid antigen tests are widely available around the area.

There's an old adage that "nobody walks in L.A." While that is less true these days, the sprawling nature of the city makes having a car the easiest way to get around.

However, plan your itinerary right, and you will find that between ride-share services and public transportation on the Metro and light-rail services, it's doable to go without a car, especially with the high cost of fuel in the state.

With so many options in Los Angeles, there's no way to see it all in one visit. Travelers can visit one area of the city at a time to get to know each region more intimately.
