J. Paul Getty Museum
This hillside museum, referred to as the Getty, is accessed via a mountainside tram, and offers superior views of the city’s Westside. Once you arrive at the top, travertine stones and exquisite statues greet you. The thousands of paintings, sculptures, and antiquities include pieces from the Middle Ages to the present, and there’s an excellent photography collection. Don’t miss the grounds, with gardens, picnic areas, restaurants, and plenty of places to chill and enjoy a quiet moment. Take the bus if you can (the 761 runs from Westwood Village) as parking is pricey.
