We visited Los Angeles at the beginning of December and I must say the weather and lack of crowds were absolutely perfect. We missed the peak summer tourist numbers. The months November – February tend to be sunny during the day and chilly at night. Personally, that’s where I thrive. We rented a car while we were there since we were really there for soccer in Norco, CA. If you don’t have a car you can always Uber or Lyft, but we did not have any issue finding parking during our visit. But again, it was not crowded or busy at this time.
Number one on my list was brunch at the Polo Lounge at Beverly HIlls Hotel. It’s been on my bucket list for years and the whole experience was a dream! Malibu was probably my next favorite part of the whole trip because it has total California vibes.
