About Downtown Los Angeles

Not long ago, Downtown Los Angeles, also known as DTLA, was anything but a tourist destination. In recent years a lot of money has gone toward revitalizing this diverse area of Los Angeles, and now there are tons of fascinating things to do there. While it is still largely a business district, an underground artistic community is quickly emerging. Trendy bars, art studios, galleries, and microbreweries are popping up right and left, making this neighborhood a fascinating and dynamic destination. From the lively nightlife, the arts scene, the stunning architecture, historical sites, and everything in between, Downtown Los Angeles is well worth a visit.
