A California Historical Landmark, the adobe building housing this museum was built in 1818 by prominent rancher and former mayor Francisco Avila. Located on Olvera Street within a recreation of an early Californian marketplace, it is furnished as it may have been in the late 1840s and is open for tours. » elpueblo. lacity.org/sightssounds/ historicstructures/ theavilaadobe

Art lovers typically visit Venice seeking street art, but Kevin Flint, owner of LA Art Tours, considers the alleys south of Downtown L.A.’s Arts District grittier and more real. Working artists lead the two-and-ahalf-hour Alley Adventure Urban Art/Graffiti Bike Tour, which includes works by L.A.’s largest graffiti crew, Under the Influence, in hidden backstreets and alleys within alleys. “It’s the stuff they won’t see on everyone else’s Instagram,” Flint says. Reservations required; $35 including rental bike, $19 with own bike. 310.503.2365, laarttours.com
