The basics

A variety of Los Angeles tours stop at the LA Coliseum to admire its exterior, including small-group LA highlights tours and customizable, private excursions. Whistle-stop itineraries aimed at cruise-ship passengers or those staying at LAX hotels also tend to stop at the stadium, in addition to highlights such as the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Venice Beach.
