    About a 10min walk from The Broad, LA City Hall offers beautiful views of Downtown Los Angeles and the best part? It's free. If you're ever around, LA City Hall is worth a visit at least once

    Great views from the upper observation deck. Take the express elevators to 22, then the next elevator to 26. After that either stairs or another little elevator to the 27th floor outside deck.

    Fun to see what group is marching or protesting on the beautiful grounds. Take in the iconic architecture of City Hall and at New Year's there is a huge countdown party.

    Take a moment to rest in the shade or sun of the South Lawn, and check out the distinctive tower - made with sand from each of California's 58 counties and water from its 21 historical missions.

    Enter at street level on Main St., or take City Hall East elevator to 3rd fl, taking bridge to chambers/rotunda. Don't miss the views from the Bradley room; reach by taking elevators to 26th floor.
