A day-trip from Los Angeles to Tijuana is not worth it. Buses and trains along this route take 4–5 hours each way. Driving yourself is faster, taking only 2 hours 30 minutes each way, but that doesn’t account for time spent waiting in line at the border crossing. Either way, an overnight trip from LA to Tijuana will be more worth your while.
No, you cannot go to Mexico from the U.S. without a passport or passport card, which is required of all U.S. citizens, unless you’re staying within the Mexican border zone (within 20–30 kilometers of the border). Other WHTI-compliant documents are accepted when U.S. citizens are returning from Mexico by land. For U.S. citizens age 15 and younger, an original or copy of a birth certificate, a Consular Report of Birth Abroad, or a Naturalization Certificate also work for land travel. Because passports or passport cards are required for entering Mexico, however, you might as well use the same document in both directions. If you’re planning on traveling to Mexico with children, you may also need to bring proof of custody. If you’re traveling with children for whom you don’t have full legal custody, you should carry a notarized affidavit of consent from the child’s parents.

City Information
Los Angeles
Los Angeles is the undisputed world capital of the entertainment business. Because of that, the City of Angels is where you will find some of the most iconic landmarks of the film and music industries, including the world-famous Walk of Fame and Dolby Theatre (home of the Academy Awards) on Hollywood Boulevard, the easily recognizable Capitol Records building at Hollywood & Vine, and the LA Live complex in Downtown Los Angeles.
The best part of LA is that it has something to offer for people of all interests: outdoor enthusiasts can hike up to the Hollywood sign, fashion aficionados can go shopping in Beverly Hills, art lovers can check out the prominent Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in the Miracle Mile district, and those looking for a fun night out can go bar-hopping in West Hollywood. Are you a Pokémon GO addict? Well then this is the place for you because LA is the best city to catch the rarest Pokémon in the U.S.. And if you want to want to experience the famed golden coast of Southern California for yourself, head west to Santa Monica and Venice for a refreshing dip in the Pacific Ocean.
With one of the biggest airports on the West Coast and several bus and train stops across the county, Los Angeles makes it easy to travel elsewhere in California, visit the neighboring Nevada, Arizona and Mexico, or take a flight to pretty much any other part of the world.
