Did you really visit L.A. if you didn't hit up The Pink Wall?
Los Angeles is home to some of the most trendy spots. Everywhere you go seems like it’s right out of a picture. Here are 10 of the most Instagrammable spots in L.A. to spice up your feed.
5905 Wilshire Blvd, 90036 / Website
Starting with a classic, we have Urban Lights. If you have not already seen this attraction, it’s definitely worth the trip. This beloved landmark features 202 authentic cast-iron lamp posts that turn on every day at dusk and flicker off at dawn. This art installation will bring a much-needed bright light to your Instagram feed.
8221 Melrose Ave, 90046 / Website
The Pink Wall attracts crowds every day. It is one of the most recognizable and well-known Instagram attractions in Los Angeles. Come with a group of friends to take pictures in front of the Paul Smith Pink Wall. It’s for sure a once-in-your-life picture you have to take.
6757 Hollywood Boulevard, 90028 / Website
Los Angeles has so many world-renowned museums. However, some of them don’t allow pictures. Thankfully, the Museum of Dream Space is filled with photo moments. The exhibits have a wide variety of digital art that features colorful lights and jaw-dropping scenes. This museum offers you a place to take unique pictures that you won’t be able to recreate elsewhere.
813 Flower St, 90017 / Website
Lilly Rose is for my theatrical readers out there. It is an underground venue in downtown L.A. that dabbles in its whimsical, wild side. You’ll have lots of options for photo-opts while watching the performance of the night. From a magic act to a burlesque show, this will be a night you won’t forget. And you’ll have the pictures on your Instagram as a reminder.

You don’t have to be a book lover to enjoy The Last Bookstore. The shop itself features a maze of books that lead you through an adventure that feels like you are right out of Harry Potter. The tunnel of books is just the cherry on top. You’ll have to do everything to not pull out your phone and take some photos.
216 S Brand Blvd, 91204 / Website
There’s nothing I love more than the glow of a neon sign. Thankfully, the Museum of Neon Art offers a whole gallery of neon signs. This spot is definitely next on my photo bucket list, and it should be on yours too.
2922 W Magnolia Blvd, 91505 / Website
What’s better than eating good food and drinking delicious drinks while you’re taking an Instagram picture? I’ll answer that for you. Nothing. The Palm Coffee Bar is absolutely gorgeous. All their decor is delicate, but still gives you a tropical feel, and they even have a disco ball! Support this small business and get a good meal and adorable photos.
Multiple Locations/ Website
Surely, you’ve seen them. The Collette Miller angel wings are likely on par with The Pink Wall. But what makes this Instagrammable spot unique is that there are multiple murals you can journey to for the perfect snapshot. From Hermosa Beach to downtown L.A. to West Hollywood, put on a pair of these pink-to-blue gradient wings. Even for just a photo, it’s like you're soaring. And be sure to take with you Miller’s intended message of love, peach, kindness, compassion and hope.
2800 E Observatory Rd, 90027 / Website
If you haven’t heard of the Griffith Observatory, prepare to plan a trip there now. Placed on a cliff, the observatory offers you the ability to take a gaze at the wonders of the universe, while also having an amazing view of Los Angeles. I recommend going at sunset or at night to have a stunning backdrop for your next Instagram post.

Get away from the hustle and bustle of L.A.’s city life and have a relaxing getaway at Leo Carrillo State Beach. You’ll be surrounded by sunny skies, glistening blue water and warm white sand. There’s nothing more tranquil than that. Make sure to snap a few pictures in the caves to make all your friends jealous of your trip. Fun fact: Grease filmed its opening scene at one of its nearby cliffs.
