4 Days in Los Angeles – Our September Itinerary ☀️🌴

We spent 4 amazing days in Los Angeles this September and stayed at a beautiful Airbnb in Burbank. Perfect location. Close to everywhere and calm. Day 1 – Arrival, Beverly Hills & Santa Monica After landing in LA (LAX Airport), we took a little walk to the bus stop to get our rental car. We rented our car from Turo. We rented a hybrid car. Then we headed our way and stopped by Walmart to pick up groceries and essentials before heading to our Airbnb in Burbank. Once we settled in, we didn’t waste any time and went straight out to explore. We spent the afternoon in Beverly Hills, walking around and visiting Erewhon. Then we headed to The Grove for more exploring and shopping. In the evening, we drove to Santa Monica. We walked around the pier, visited Pacific Park, and had dinner at Blue Plate Taco. It was the perfect first night — ocean air, sunset views, and such a lively atmosphere. ⸻ Day 2 – Hollywood & Griffith Observatory We started the day by visiting the Hollywood Sign area for photos and views. Later, we went to Griffith Observatory around sunset — and it was absolutely breathtaking. Watching the sun go down over Los Angeles from there was unforgettable. We also explored inside the observatory, which made the experience even better. ⸻ Day 3 – El Matador Beach & Malibu Midday, we visited Calabasas, thousand oaks. We had our lunch at Mythpoint (Mediterranean restaurant ). Then we headed to El Matador Beach. We drove by Decker Canyon Road which has one of the best Malibu view. The road was narrow, be careful! Then, we arrived at El matador beach. The rock formations were stunning and the scenery felt almost unreal. We parked by the road and took a walk to arrive the beach, found the stairs! For sunset, we went to Point Dume in Malibu. We did a beautiful trail hike up to the top and watched the sunset over the ocean. The view from above was magical — definitely one of the highlights of our trip. ⸻ Day 4 – West Hollywood, Venice & Santa Monica In the morning and early afternoon, we explored West Hollywood around the Melrose area, browsed shops, and stopped at Urth Caffé — which we loved. Toward sunset, we walked around Venice Beach, watched the skateboarders, and enjoyed the vibrant energy. In the evening, we returned to Santa Monica one last time. It was lively and full of movement — the perfect ending to our LA trip. ⸻ One evening while staying in Burbank, we also explored AMC Burbank Town Center, which was a fun and relaxed place to walk around at night. For us, 4 days in Los Angeles felt just right — we experienced beaches, city views, hiking, shopping, and sunsets all in one trip.
