It’s not officially a holiday in LA until you post it to the ‘gram! The City of Angels is simply blessed with so many instagrammable places that you can’t help but reach for your phone to upload a few winning pictures. And we don’t blame you too! It’s not like you can get a shot of super clear blue sky dotted with white clouds and perfect row of palm trees anywhere, right? So let’s get snapping when you’re in LA and make sure not to miss our 6 top picks for the most instagrammable places in Los Angeles!

1. Santa Monica Pier

Is there any better icon to LA than the Pier? We think not. The red and yellow Ferris wheel is basically the city’s trademark, along with its fully operating amusement park, arcade area, rows of bars, restaurants, and shops. You can get an excellent view of Malibu and South Bay up here, and it only gets better as the sun sets in. The atmosphere changes from hot and hip to cool and cozy where the beach and live local music serenades you along.

Still, we recommend whipping your camera out during the day because the sun just brings out all the best angles of the Pier. Walk by the beach or stand underneath the pier, admire the old buildings on the grounds or go on rides - whatever you do, it’s going to be an instagrammable day for sure.

2. The Broad

Pronounced “brod” instead of “ brawd”, this contemporary art museum in LA will redefine your #aestheticsgoal and #instaworthy ideas all at once. Famous for its Yayoi Kusama exhibits, this spot is especially most sought after for the original Infinity Mirror Room - The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away. Yeap, the long name only confirms its popularity by being consistently magical since 2015.

There is also another Infinity Mirror Room, Longing for Eternity ( 2017) that is a chamber with a porthole-like window. All we can say is, brace yourself for the long queue and get ready to enter a constellation of wonder you didn’t know you needed.

3. Hollywood Walk of Fame

This place needs very little introduction and to some, maybe a little overrated. But it’s actually very refreshing to crouch and touch the celebrities’ names etched on a ground and framed by a star. As one of the most popular tourist attractions in the entire city, arrive early in the morning to enjoy this space and find your favorite stars with ease. Get your camera ready because we got a feeling, you might want to snap them all!

4. Urban Light at LACMA

Another day in LA means another museum to explore. One that is making the instagram buzz is Urban Light at Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). With over 200 street lamps from the 1920-1930’s era lined up in formation, this lamp installation is as unique as it is iconic. Many has praised this as a must-stop beating out other popular landmarks because it is just that impressive.

Snatch your own fabulous photo and get a tastes of modern art, during day or night, and you’ll be sparking your own lights of love in double-tap form.

5. Griffith Observatory Los Angeles

Located strategically on a hillside of Los Angeles since 1935, visiting the historic monument will leave you speechless as it overlooks the city's beauty from atop. The Hollywood sign, Pacific Ocean, and LA skyscrapers embraced by their iconic palm trees are all visible from this exact monument. Put it this way, visiting this spot will give you the best of both worlds outdoors and indoors; a blissful view of the city of angels from the outside and an exhilirating experience inside as you are surrounded by its beautiful architecture and decor.

6. Paul Smith ‘Pink” Wall

An IG phenomenon aka the most instagrammed wall in LA, who would have thought that a giant bubble-gum pink wall could draw so much hype? Located at the popular shopping street of Melrose Avenue, Paul Smith is already a big name on its own, but the pink wall deserves its own applause altogether. It has its own security guard, protecting photo-takers from car safety from the sidewalk and also to stop any professional camera in action. So make sure you follow the rules and play nice, then upload it for a perfect memory.
