Getting there

Head to the Getty Center on Getty Center Drive in Brentwood. From the arrival or parking level, follow signs for the uphill tram. The Getty Villa is at a different location.

Admission

Admission is free, with a timed reservation required. Parking is charged separately. Make sure your reservation is for the Center.

What to see

Pick an indoor gallery and leave time for the terraces or gardens. The hilltop views are a distinct part of the visit.

Plan your visit

Allow time to get up to the museum from the arrival area and back down afterward. Keep any cross-city plans flexible.

Give the galleries and gardens three or four hours. Add time for the tram both ways and check garden access if weather changes.
