A stunning Roman-villa replica perched above the Pacific, housing the Getty's extraordinary collection of ancient Greek, Roman, and Etruscan antiquities. The architecture and gardens alone justify the trip — wander the outdoor peristyle and catch a view of the ocean. Admission is free but timed parking reservations ($20) are required, so book well in advance or take the bus.
