Much more than a museum, the Getty is probably California’s best all-around arts center. Located high above the freeway in the Santa Monica hills, the incredibly original architecture, itself alone worth a visit, cannot be experienced unless one actually takes on the ascent. The different collections of the center are incredible, and the $7 parking fee (the center itself is free), is a veritable bargain.
Thankfully, the Getty dropped its policy to require parking reservations and parking is now on an availability basis.
