Los Angeles: When To Go

Peak Season: June to August Top attractions are packed, many coastal hotels are filled to capacity, and the inland parts of the city can be miserably hot.

Off Season: October to April You’ll get the most bang for your buck, with thinner crowds, less smog, and a temperate climate that practically assures winter warmth.

Sweet Spot: May; September Crowds are thinner before and after the summer school break, and you can still swim in the relatively warm ocean come fall.
