    I always take my out of town visitors to the El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Park which includes Olvera Street, the oldest street in Los Angeles. It's totally free, and open 7 days a week. Then you have Chinatown which we really enjoy. Be sure to stop by the historic Union Station. It's stunningly beautiful inside. Hollywood Boulevard has the Manns Chinese Theater, a beautiful movie palace from the 1920's. The interior is filled with Chinese antiques. The Hancock Park section of Los Angeles, where I live, is also on the historical list. It was actually the "first Beverly Hills", where movie stars lived, many still do (Melanie Griffith lives here), before Beverly Hills was developed. All the homes here are truly historical treasures. It's a treat just to drive around. Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills also have old homes from the 1920's. The Beverly Hills Hotel was one of the first buildings of that city, and Beverly Hills was actually developed around it. There is also the La Brea Mammoth Tar Pits, on Wilshire Blvd next door to MOCA (museum). Have fun taking your relatives around. Annelie

Olivera Street in downtown Los Angeles is a neat part of town. Try doing a search engine search for it, and you'll find all kinds of info! It is a charming spanish-themed pedestrian area.

I would stay away from El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Park its nothing more than a tourist trap. One small street jam packed with bus loads of people. Full of souvenir stores that sell overpriced junk you don't need. Parking is ten bucks and as an added bonus just across the freeway is skid row. Check out the Getty Center its free (parking ten bucks) or maybe the Los Angeles Farmers Market. Another interesting place is the Griffith Observatory which is also free and parking costs nothing.
