The 5 best views of the city in Los Angeles

1) Observation Deck at Los Angeles City Hall

For years, City Hall was the tallest building in LA. That changed in 1964, but the view from the building’s observation deck on the 27th floor is still incredible. There’s a 360-degree view of the Santa Monica Mountain range, the downtown skyline, and, on a clear day, Santa Monica and the Pacific Ocean.
