Everything you should know before you book
When the sun drops behind the Pacific, Los Angeles trades sightseeing for atmosphere. This list ranks the best after-dark experiences, from a haunted-Hollywood ghosts tour and a Chinatown ghost-hunting walk to a calm night-time boat ride across Echo Park Lake with the downtown towers lit up behind you.
Pick the ghost tours for a dose of LA's darker history. The Hollywood ghosts tour and the Chinatown ghost-hunting walk lean into the city's eerie folklore, while the ghosts-and-pubs crawl pairs the spooky stories with a few drinks. For something gentler, the Echo Park Lake night ride is a quiet, central way to end an evening on the water.
