5 landmarks — the buildings and public spaces people specifically travel downtown to see, as opposed to the museums and theaters filed under Arts & Culture.

Where they are. Three sit in the Civic Center: Los Angeles City Hall, Gloria Molina Grand Park and the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, all within a few blocks. Union Station is on the Chinatown edge, and Angels Flight Railway climbs Bunker Hill from Hill Street up to California Plaza.

How to browse. These work as one walk. Start at Union Station, cut through the Civic Center past City Hall and Grand Park, and finish at Angels Flight. Check current hours and any ticketing directly with each site before you go.
