Downtown L.A. was the origin of Los Angeles, and nothing speaks of its transformation from a dusty frontier outpost to booming metropolis than its skyscrapers. There’s something for everyone on this walking tour, which threads its way through the heart of L.A.’s most vertical neighborhood. You’ll visit modern Bunker Hill along with 1970s icons like the Westin Bonaventure, a fan favorite of many Angelenos. You’ll see sleek towers, hidden artwork, and surprisingly high skyscrapers designed by architects who never got the memo that L.A. is only a place of sprawling suburbs. Come see for yourself!
