Holiday
Shopping!
Christmas
is just around the corner and the great LA weather allows
for easier shopping and outdoor holiday fun. Lack of snow
doesn't mean lack of fun: go ice skating with friends at
LA's own outdoor skating rink, then join others for a holiday
sing-along. Fairs, museum shops, and specific LA
destinations offer great alternatives for completing your
holiday shopping! And the best way to take advantage of our
weather? Try using the Metro Shopping Guide to explore LA
without the hassles of traffic and street parking!

 "When
traffic is naughty, Metro is nice." Take Metro Rail
to go shopping this holiday season and
you can save money on gas and parking, skip the traffic
near shopping centers and freeways, and avoid looking
for a parking spot.
Many
major stores, boutiques and malls are conveniently
located near Metro Rail stations.
Just buy your $3 Day Pass and hop on board. We'll
take care of driving, so you can concentrate on
finding the perfect gift.
