Santa Monica to Los Angeles</h2> <div class="sun-title__body --2col wysiwyg"> <div class="column-1"> <p>Downtown Los Angeles is rich in art and culture and is definitely worth a quick Santa Monica trip! To spend a full day in L.A., start at The Broad museum to peruse its acclaimed contemporary art collection, and then check out the outstanding works at The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA)’s two downtown locations: MOCA Grand and MOCA Geffen. From MOCA, go for a ride on Angels Flight, DTLA’s 1901-established funicular (where Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone kissed in La La Land) to Grand Central Market for a bite to eat.</p> </div> <div class="column-2"> <p>Enjoy world-class theater, dance, music and opera productions at The Music Center, a performing arts complex that encompasses the Ahmanson Theatre, Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, Mark Taper Forum and a Frank Gehry–designed structure that’s a work of art itself, Walt Disney Concert Hall, home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Plan ahead and see a concert at the L.A. LIVE entertainment complex’s Microsoft Theater or STAPLES Center (or just stop in for a meal or to experience the club scene). Visit the GRAMMY Museum® to get immersed in the history of American music, visit the iconic Bradbury Building (from Blade Runner and 500 Days of Summer) or The Last Bookstore.</p> <p><strong>Distance from Santa Monica to Los Angeles: </strong>16 miles (25.7 km)</p> <p><strong>Getting There:</strong> Take the <a href="https://www.santamonica.com/transportation/santa-monica-metro/">Metro E (Expo) Line</a> light rail from downtown Santa Monica.</p> </div> </div> </section> <section class="two-images container-max sm-block --flip sm-block"> <div class="two-images__container --flip"> <div class="two-images__column"> <div class="two-images__content"> <div class="two-images__content-header-container"> <h2 class="two-images__content-header">2.
