Watch the sunset in Los Angeles

When travelling to new places we’ll often look up to the sky to see how the view differs from home. We seek out the Big Dipper, see if we can make out Venus with the naked eye and plan our days around the sun rising and setting. Sunsets in Los Angeles cast everything and everyone in a dreamy haze so it’s no wonder this time of day is known as the magic hour. We can’t always make it out to see the sunset so grab a glass of wine, open your windows to feel the breeze and tune into Discover Los Angeles’ daily sunset livestream.
