Combine a classic 24-hour hop-on hop-off sightseeing experience with a self-guided visit aboard one of the most famous ships in the US Navy for a full day of city highlights and waterfront history.

Use your Big Bus Discover ticket to explore Los Angeles at your own pace on open-top, double-decker buses. Ride the Hollywood Loop past landmarks such as the Walk of Fame and the Hollywood Sign viewpoints, then switch to the coastal route to reach beachside neighborhoods like Santa Monica and Venice.

Hop on and off at selected stops to shop, take photos, or enjoy a meal, then rejoin the next bus when you’re ready. On board, pre-recorded commentary in multiple languages shares stories, film trivia, and local tips, while the free app helps you track live bus arrivals.

At the Port of Los Angeles, step aboard the Battleship USS IOWA Museum for a self-guided adventure through five decks of naval history. Walk the same teak decks where US presidents once sailed, peek into the captain’s cabin and mess halls, and see massive gun turrets up close.

Explore interactive exhibits, restored crew spaces, and a family-friendly “Vicky's Scavenger Hunt” for kids that bring the ship’s service in World War II, Korea, and the Cold War to life. Learn how the “Battleship of Presidents” was saved and transformed into today’s museum.

Visit the two attractions in either order, giving you the freedom to design a day that suits your schedule. Make your own way between the bus routes and the museum, take as many photo stops as you like, and enjoy Los Angeles from both the city streets and the deck of a legendary battleship with one convenient combo.
