Visit Hollywood, California

Add to My List Check Off

Hollywood is situated west-northwest of downtown Los Angeles, California. Due to its fame and cultural identity as the historical center of movie studios and movie stars, the wordHollywoodis often used as a metonym of American cinema. Today, much of the movie industry has dispersed into surrounding areas such as the Westside neighborhood, and the San Fernando and Santa Clarita Valleys, but significant auxiliary industries, such as editing, effects, props, post-production, and lighting companies remain in Hollywood, as does the backlot of Paramount Pictures. There are two ways to experience Hollywood: site seeing and nightlife. The main Hollywood sites you want to cover are the Kodak Theater, the Walk of Fame, and the Grauman’s Chinese Theater. At night, you’ll want to get tickets to a concert at the Hollywood Bowl or head over to the Sunset Strip and check out the Viper Room, the Rainbow Room, and for something a little lighter try the Comedy Store.
